The United Socialist States of The Hylian Republic is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.629 billion Hylians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hallstavik. The average income tax rate is 84.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Hylian economy, worth 437 trillion Hylian Kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Average income is 77,794 Hylian Kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Leader to meetings with foreign heads of state, neon signs promoting safe driving often distract drivers, hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, and the election for Leader's office's janitor is heating up. Crime is totally unknown. The Hylian Republic's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Hylian Republic is ranked 9,964^th in the world and 553^rd in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 119 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
