The Federation of Hypermeridionalis is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory vegetarianism, and conspicuous electricity pylons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.899 billion Hypermeridionalisians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Spirituality, and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Hypermeridionalisian economy, worth a remarkable 5,579 trillion Gods a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 432,556 Gods, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,659,923 per year while the poor average 77,711, a ratio of 21.4 to 1.
Giant no-kill traps baited with Bapst Red Ribbon and vintage bicycles have been popping up in back alleys nationwide, government employees from Hypermeridionalis dominate international lumberjack competitions, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and the government seizes corporate assets it deems 'scary enough'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Hypermeridionalis's national animal is the Demon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Hypermeridionalis is ranked 50,301st in the world and 466th in the West Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 31.54 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
