HimDyr

Population62 million

The Empire of HimDyr is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 62 million HimDyrians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 51.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The HimDyrian economy, worth 2.92 trillion Hessls a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,020 Hessls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, government-run brothels can be found on every street corner, no personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police, and the military is recruiting war criminals to join its weapons research teams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HimDyr's national animal is the Direwolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

HimDyr is ranked 264,599th in the world and 87th in Wintercrest for Largest Populations, with 62.0 million capita.
