The Holy Winter Kingdom of Rhino Hypolan is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Santa with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, daily referendums, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 7.336 billion Hypolanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Pole. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rhino Hypolanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,619 trillion Candy Canes a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 357,053 Candy Canes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government subsidises medicines of mass destruction, the government's policy is 'all pain, no grain', the parliament doubled in size recently, and the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhino Hypolan's national animal is the Reindeer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Rhino Hypolan is ranked 63,539^th in the world and 11^th in The Kingdom of Great Britain for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,246.25 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
