The Allied States of Hintria is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Supreme Overlord with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.768 billion Hintrians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hintriopolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.2%.

The powerhouse Hintrian economy, worth 670 trillion Hintroes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 116,188 Hintroes, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Billions of Hintroes are being blown on orbital weapons development, acupuncture is routinely prescribed for intravenous drug addicts, grannies with arthritic hands work miserably on factory production lines, and the military conducts 'training exercises' in prisons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hintria's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Supreme Overlord.

Hintria is ranked 322,994^th in the world and 346^th in NationStates for Nicest Citizens, with 0.36 average smiles per day.
