The United States of The Hill Republic is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 18 million Hill Republicians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 8.4%.

The strong Hill Republician economy, worth 826 billion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 45,938 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, it turns out that money can buy you happiness, married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine, and courses in how to boil water are popular for formerly microwave-reliant Hill Republicians. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Hill Republic's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

The Hill Republic is ranked 105,773^rd in the world and 82^nd in Thaecia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 42,079.43 Standard Monetary Units.
