The Armed Republic of Hyperian Marines is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 22.532 billion Hyperian Marines are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.5%.

The very strong Hyperian economy, worth a remarkable 1,429 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 63,459 Credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 286,852 per year while the poor average 8,629, a ratio of 33.2 to 1.

Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, nudity is frowned upon, the nation's official head of religious affairs is an atheist, and bicyclists are banned from major roads. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Hyperian Marines's national animal is the Space Lizard, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Hyperian Marines is ranked 111,891^st in the world and 4^th in Aura Hyperia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,980.11 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
