The People's Republic of Hillspiria is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 299 million Hillspirians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 53.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Hillspirian economy, worth 10.8 trillion crests a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,237 crests, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, and homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hillspiria's national animal is the Mountain Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hillspiria is ranked 119,459^th in the world and 188^th in Astoria for Highest Food Quality, scoring 19.64 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
