The United States of Hyperthorea is a very large, genial nation, notable for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 367 million Hyperthoreans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Invicta Nova. The average income tax rate is 61.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Hyperthorean economy, worth 31.5 trillion Scarlet Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,746 Scarlet Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every new toxic waste dump comes with a seal of approval from the government's science advisor, the nation's soldiers sleep four to a bed in order to use space economically, many aides in Leader's office are known to be serial jaywalkers, and the internet has been placed under government control. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hyperthorea's national animal is the Haast Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Hyperthorea is ranked 62,785^th in the world and 75^th in Aesica for Most Developed, scoring 73.58 on the Human Development Index.
