Overview
The Enlightened Republic of Hypocria is located in the deep south of the Atlantian Oceania region. It is bordered by Cockbill Street to the north and east and Bettia to the west. Across the sea to the south is Spruitland.
The Enlightened Republic of Hypocria is a huge, economically powerful and safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare.
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass -- is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Defence and Public Transport are on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Woodchip Exports.
International Relations
Following an end to the nation's previous isolationist policies the President ordered the construction of a new diplomatic facility next to the Republican Palace. This facility included the Department of Foreign Affairs building and Embassy Plaza.

Sport
Like many nations in the region Hypocria is home to a multitude of sporting leagues and events.
Football
Football is by far the most popular sport in the country and the domestic league was recently overhauled, creating The Hyper League.
Hypocria has recently made it's first strides onto the international stage. Coached by the former Starblaydia national coach Guylain N'Dumbu-Nsungu the national team debuted at the Baptism of Fire Tournament, where they finished in third place, before competing in the qualification games for World Cup 23.
The national Under-21 side recently competed in Under-21 World Cup 18 in Total n Utter Insanity where they were beaten in the final by local rivals Spruitland. It is the fourth time the nation has competed at the Under-21 World Cup.
Cricket
Cricket is played at an amateur level in Hypocria but the best players in the country are currently being scouted to form a team that will compete in the Cricket league in neighbouring Bettia.
Ice Hockey
Despite the fact that there is no tradition of Ice Hockey in the country the government elected to send a team to compete in the fourteenth edition of the Cherry Cup in Very Angry Rabbits. Somehow the Huskies managed to beat reigning champions Tanah Burung in their very first game.
