The Jingoistic States of Hikea is a large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 111 million Hikeans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 33.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Hikean economy, worth 5.28 trillion Hikean Shillings a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,598 Hikean Shillings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Robotic spouses prove to be just as imperfect as flesh and blood ones, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, political detractors refer to Leader as 'that Bigtopian puppet', and Hikea recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hikea's national animal is the TUNA, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Hikea is ranked 207,961^st in the world and 1,144^th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring zero on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
