The Kingdom of Hieroglyphics is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 19.365 billion Hieroglyphicsians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 44.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Hieroglyphicsian economy, worth 617 trillion beers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 31,882 beers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Gambling is outlawed, children are regularly married to each other to secure business deals between families, all tariffs have been abolished, and drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Hieroglyphics's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Hieroglyphics is ranked 198,684^th in the world and 8,886^th in Osiris for Highest Poor Incomes, with 19,933.29 Standard Monetary Units.
