The Republic of Hecers is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 168 million Hecersians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Hecersian economy, worth 11.6 trillion kronor 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 Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 69,120 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The army is spending millions cloning khaki-colored dinosaurs, the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and Hecers has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hecers's national animal is the dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hecers is ranked 118,947^th in the world and 269^th in Refugia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 127.11 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
