The Democratic Republic of Heathera

“Together out of the dark night into a brighter day”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Democratic Republic of Heathera is a very large, genial nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 374 million Heatherans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heathe City. The average income tax rate is 57.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Heatheran economy, worth 29.4 trillion Leafes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 78,707 Leafes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, heartbroken parents are urged to "smile for the camera", gossip magazines have pictures of Leader sunbathing on the beach with political rivals, and edutainment video games are taking Heathera's students to the next level. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heathera's national animal is the Gecko, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Heathera is ranked 82,661^st in the world and 969^th in the South Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,195.65 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
