UN category: Left-wing Utopia

A peaceful land of long-haired, tree-hugging hippies, located ideologically within the Anticapitalist Alliance.

The Hippietanians are signatories of the IFTA and members of the CACE and the UN. They enjoy extensive civil and political freedoms, but are so economically clueless that the majority are reduced to dirt-scrabbling poverty. Being hippies, however, they don't seem to mind this too much.

No-one knows when or how Hippietanian society emerged. Least of all the Hippietanians themselves, who have difficulty enough working out what day it is, whose tent they've woken up in or (most importantly of all) what the hell they've done with their stash. Unsurpringly, a rigorous, extensive, evidence-based cultural history is beyond them.

Visitors, however, have commented that the Hippietanians' dedication to pacifism, spiritual regeneration, agrarianism and common ownership of all land is somehow familiar. Just with more drugs. And much longer psychadelic keyboard solos.
