The Frightening Economy Defender of Rhino Hypolan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Elmo S Muppet with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 3.297 billion Hypolanians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of Microsoft Windows 98 Plustopia. The average income tax rate is 77.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Rhino Hypolanian economy, worth 532 trillion UK Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 161,549 UK Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, the nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, and concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhino Hypolan's national animal is the Rhino, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Rhino Hypolan is ranked 252,961st in the world and 56th in The Kingdom of Great Britain for Fattest Citizens, with 7.9 Obesity Rate.
