The Kingdom of Heesland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Bernhard I of Heesland with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.195 billion Heeslandians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heesstad. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Heeslandian economy, worth 944 trillion Heeslandian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 225,186 Heeslandian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Whole-wheat loaves can only be ordered on the dark web, crime pays, the Lion is a protected species, and video game protagonists bear striking resemblances to major political figures. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Heesland's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Heesland is ranked 15,742^nd in the world and 2^nd in Middle West Region for Most Patriotic, with 58.47 flags saluted per person per day.
