The Theocracy of Hyperion Towers is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Triumvir Noblesse with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 3.567 billion Towerians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hyperion. The average income tax rate is 75.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Towerian economy, worth 386 trillion Coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 108,294 Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens must pay to enjoy Hyperion Towers's pristine beaches, door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, and citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hyperion Towers's national animal is the Wasp, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Protestant.

Hyperion Towers is ranked 2,438th in the world and 26th in the West Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 44,273 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
