The United States of The Hill Republic is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.116 billion Hill Republicians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 36.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Hill Republician economy, worth 81.9 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,422 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Gardeners must genetically test weeds for unique traits before digging them up, solving crossword puzzles requires fluency in at least five languages, the new Turtle Supremacy Party is faring well in the polls, and tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Hill Republic's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
The Hill Republic is ranked 115,363rd in the world and 12th in Warzone Airspace for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 17.9 missed references per hour.
