The Island Utopia of Hide Away is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 28.81 billion Hide Awayians 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 76.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Hide Awayian economy, worth 104 trillion trees a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Information Technology and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 3,641 trees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The flesh-eating lost souls that wander at night serve as a major tourist attraction (Hide Away has found 1 easter eggs), the nation's favourite colour is red (Hide Away has found 2 easter eggs), thousands of cute furry kittens are trampling everything in their path (Hide Away has found 3 easter eggs), and residents firmly believe there is no spoon (Hide Away has found 5 easter eggs). Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hide Away's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hide Away is ranked 8,146^th in the world and 2^nd in Bermuda Triangle for Largest Populations, with 28.8 billion capita.
