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

The State of Hechevstan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Hechevba Tyoplehu with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.434 billion Hechevs are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elivehkhent. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 86.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Hechevstani economy, worth 823 trillion ujaks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 239,852 ujaks, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

Many are questioning Hechevba Tyoplehu wearing an Eckie-Ecola baseball cap during a keynote speech, only adults may purchase violent video games, citizens need a magnifying glass and color chart to distinguish between nearly identical brand labels, and no one tells their son "you're the man of the house" any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hechevstan's national animal is the bull, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hechevstan is ranked 56,461^st in the world and 14^th in Deep Storage for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,343.89 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
