The Empire of Hileville is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Dennrick with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.862 billion Hilevilleans 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, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nanlandia. The average income tax rate is 66.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hilevillean economy, worth a remarkable 3,061 trillion Hiles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 162,331 Hiles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, NPCs in MMORPGs regularly interrupt cutscenes with OOC reminders that they aren't real people, and homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Hileville's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Cult of the Lions.

Hileville is ranked 221,509^th in the world and 3,441^st in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 8.7 Obesity Rate.
