The Mighty Dictatorship of The Mighty Hyena is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Mightiest Hyena with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, enslaved workforce, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 38.127 billion Mightieses are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hilariousness. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Mighty Hyenan economy, worth an astonishing 10,490 trillion laughins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 275,156 laughins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,620,419 per year while the poor average 21,720, a ratio of 74.6 to 1.

Stockbrokers dream of getting rich by writing textbooks, every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains, gangs have taken to secret handshakes after tattoos were banned, and napalm is the tool of choice for disabling eco-unfriendly forestry operations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Mighty Hyena's national animal is the hyena, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cult of the Mightiest Hyena.

The Mighty Hyena is ranked 49,187^th in the world and 8^th in The Alliance of Dictators for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 4,865.1 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
