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 order 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 sports 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.
