Overview
The Imperial Autocracy 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 41%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Woodchip Exports.

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. After an excellent run in the nineth edition of the regional AOCAF tournament the side went into the qualifying games for World Cup 24 full of confidence. Unfortunately a dreadful run of form followed which saw Hypocria drop to the bottom of the group table and Guylain was eventually sacked with two games left to play.
The national Under-21 side best performance came in Under-21 World Cup 18 in Total n Utter Insanity where they were beaten in the final by local rivals Spruitland. Despite being the number 2 seeds Hypocria performed poorly at the most recent tournament and failed to qualify from the group stage.
Hypocria made its debut in the regional AOCAF competition at AOCAF IX in Cockbill Street. The Hyppos punched above their weight as they put on a superb run all the way to the final. Big names such as Fmjphoenix, Turori, Lamoni and reigning champions Starblaydia all fell during Hypocria's path to the final two. The Hyppos eventually lost 1 - 0 to regional powerhouses Vilita. In AOCAF X the side again qualified from the group stage only to fall to Spruitland on penalties in the second round.
While AOCAF IX was taking place a second string Hypocria squad was competing in Cup of Harmony 15. The side picked up just 1 point from their three games. A squad is currently competing at Cup of Harmony 16 in the New Montreal States.
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.
