The State of the Consortiums of Hyreen is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Helman Agenvir with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, otherworldly petting zoo, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.13 billion Hyreenians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vonsrenburg. The average income tax rate is 81.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Hyreenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,278 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 309,537 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Hyreen, requests to "pass the salt" are supported by tank divisions, politicians can be condescending (which by the way means "showing an attitude of patronising superiority"), and the national colors help to make everyone look slimmer. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hyreen's national animal is the phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Hyreen is ranked 284,621^st in the world and 1,279^th in Europeia for Safest, scoring 5.48 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
