The Hyperborean Autonomous Zone of LVK212 is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Great Supreme General Sturnberg with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.87 billion Hyperboreans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ulaanbataar. The average income tax rate is 94.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Hyperborean economy, worth a remarkable 8,231 trillion Yen 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 amazing 436,206 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Officer recruitment and police brutality have reached an all-time high, peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop, edgy teens know that illegal discos are where the cool cats hang, and heated town halls quickly descend into shootouts between politicians and their constituents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. LVK212's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is BonbiBonkerism.

LVK212 is ranked 248th in the world and 1st in Fifth Empire for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 17,666.78 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
