Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Queen's State of Heyworth Wood is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 27.027 billion Heyworth Woodians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Heyworth Woodian economy, worth 584 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 21,626 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have been outlawed and Heyworth Wood has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heyworth Wood's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Heyworth Wood is ranked 63,075^th in the world and 2^nd in Rabat for Most Corrupt Governments, with 29.08 kickbacks per hour.
