The State of He Died is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 21.701 billion He Diedians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant He Diedian economy, worth 344 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 15,858 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have been outlawed, meat is a luxury afforded only to the wealthy, cars are banned, and He Died has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. He Died's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

He Died is ranked 81,776^th in the world and 3^rd in Roseau for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.28 law-abiding acts per hour.
