The Hellenic Wars of Hector and Achilles is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Ajax with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.816 billion Hector and Achillesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Troy. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 89.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Hector and Achillesian economy, worth a remarkable 5,341 trillion Swords a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 234,104 Swords, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Cities in Hector and Achilles declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings, it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, immigrants who don't like the taste of Hector and Achillesian Turnip Chips are immediately deported, and HAA-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hector and Achilles's national animal is the Cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Survivalism.

Hector and Achilles is ranked 6,219^th in the world and 2^nd in War Weary for Lowest Crime Rates, with 111.29 law-abiding acts per hour.
