The People's Republic of Hitentherps is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Llwyd Swavely with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless population of 5.731 billion Hitentherpsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crelnard. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Hitentherpsian economy, worth 609 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,407 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials, illegal immigration remains a hot topic, and Llwyd Swavely has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hitentherps's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Noclawas.

Hitentherps is ranked 49,735^th in the world and 86^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,932.44 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
