The Embelishment of The Hype is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by MrHype with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 19.607 billion Hypeans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of HypeCity. The average income tax rate is 55.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hypean economy, worth a remarkable 2,332 trillion exaggerations 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese 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 118,957 exaggerations, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Museums have more touchscreens on display than artifacts, laborers are building walls and making Wezeltonia pay for it, citizens are now allowed to discuss whether MrHype is the greatest ruler ever or simply the greatest ruler of this generation, and sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Hype's national animal is the elephant and its national religion is Atheism.

The Hype is ranked 97,898^th in the world and 117^th in Nederland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.12 law-abiding acts per hour.
