“Worldrankings: First and fourth last.”

The Weyland Corporation of Heinekenbier is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by Dear Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 14.78 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence, with areas such as the Environment and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heinekenbier City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

The government seizes the property of the recently deceased, a survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, the number of children one can have is restricted by law, and midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Heinekenbier's national animal is the oxygen molecule, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Dear Leaders' Cult, and its currency is the bottle cap.

Heinekenbier is ranked 53rd in the region and 52,551st in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
