The Unholy Workers' State of Hykonica is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Praeses Hiconicae | Πρόεδρος τῆς Ὑκωνίκα with a fair hand, and notable for its conspicuous electricity pylons, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.025 billion Hykonicans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thessalonica | Θεσσαλονίκη. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Hykonican economy, worth 945 trillion Denarius Hiconicanus | Ὑκονικὴ δραχμήs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 188,234 Denarius Hiconicanus | Ὑκονικὴ δραχμήs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service, they who do not work shall not eat, the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Hykonica after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hykonica's national animal is the Felis Hiconis | Ἡ τοῦ Ὑκόνος γαλή, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hykonica is ranked 87,782^nd in the world and 383^rd in Europeia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,659.19 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
