The United People of Heriop is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Kenneth Phillips with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.643 billion Heriopians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heriopville. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Heriopian economy, worth 238 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 42,279 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The Counter-Terrorism Unit has been nicknamed "Big Bad Wolf" for its tendency towards urban demolition, films are funded in accordance with the volume of tears shed when reading the screenplay, dangerous criminals are often 'accidentally' sent on one-way trips to Maxtopia, and political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heriop's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Heriopism.
Heriop is ranked 272,210th in the world and 1st in Heriopian Alliance of Nations for Most Stationary, with 10.11788935788 days.
