“Before anything else, Heinzeria.”

The United States of Heinzeria is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Heinzy McHeinzy with an even hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.63 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heinzeria City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, the government snoops on private internet connections, and traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heinzeria's national animal is the Brown beaver, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Heinz.

Heinzeria is ranked 232nd in the region and 16,780th in the world for Most Politically Free Nations.
