The Incorporated States of Hyperbanus is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Albion Constantine with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate population of 5.069 billion Hyperbanusians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Healthcare, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hydrotermopolis. The average income tax rate is 74.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hyperbanusian economy, worth 635 trillion E-Coins a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,365 E-Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Selfie stick use is a required Scout badge, military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds', bus ads propagandize causes ranging from sexual revolution to religious pogroms, and movement-triggered sensors mean that for every door that closes another one opens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hyperbanus's national animal is the Bulky Golden Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hyperbanus is ranked 204,936^th in the world and 9,252^nd in The North Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -100.65 on the Hayek Index.
