The Welfare State of Republik Hintonia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Markeretik with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, parental licensing program, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, cheerful population of 8.659 billion Hintonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hintonia City. The average income tax rate is 27.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hintonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,823 trillion Republikmarks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 210,638 Republikmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million Republikmarks of property damage, global anti-terrorist organisations strongly suspect Republik Hintonia of supplying extremist groups, where there's smoke there's the Hintonian Forestry Department, and the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republik Hintonia's national animal is the Liger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Republik Hintonia is ranked 13,185^th in the world and 106^th in Forest for Safest, scoring 117.87 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
