Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Territory of East Hekloslogravia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its cynical population of 8.728 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 53%, and even higher for the wealthy. An almost nonexistent private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, all-natural foods are becoming a major fad, the government has legalised small-scale capitalism, and elections have recently been reintroduced to East Hekloslogravia. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Hekloslogravia's national animal is the mallard duck, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the DOCA.

East Hekloslogravia is ranked 6th in Uroca and 67,554th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
