The Socialist Monarchy of Hexion is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Simon Delaware with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.072 billion Hexionians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dustbowl. The average income tax rate is 52.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Hexionian economy, worth 95.4 trillion Coins a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,958 Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The derisively named "Morlocks of Moria" futilely demand time in the sun, the beauty of coastal towns is marred only slightly by all the closed-down storefronts, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, and tax rises are attributed to divine will. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hexion's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Perfectionism.

Hexion is ranked 204,339^th in the world and 1,065^th in the West Pacific for Largest Populations, with 1.07 billion capita.
