The Armed Republic of HEIRO is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, democratic population of 255 million HEIROians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong HEIROian economy, worth 18.2 trillion Heroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,275 Heroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison, throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem, mandatory updates on software drivers often bring life to a halt, and foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the triumph of the HEIRO City Bears against long odds. Crime is totally unknown. HEIRO's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

HEIRO is ranked 111,117^th in the world and 509^th in Europeia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,762.71 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
