OverviewFactbookPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The United Socialist States of Heymondia is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 348 million Heymondians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 65.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Heymondian economy, worth 14.4 trillion Zests a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 41,240 Zests, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Travel bureaus double as recruiting centers for national intelligence agencies, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, after every storm there's an expensive government-funded rainbow, and skin-tone prom dresses are more unpopular than ever. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heymondia's national animal is the Cow, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Heymondia is ranked 214,004th in the world and 3,509th in The East Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 13.72 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
