“United in Freedom”

The Republic of Hemmia is a very large, economically powerful nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 177 million are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, pro-business government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5%. A large private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Trout Farming and Automobile Manufacturing.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, the death penalty has been reintroduced, and the police force is on a recruitment drive. Crime is a serious problem. Hemmia's national animal is the parrot, and its currency is the Hemmian pound.

Hemmia is ranked 46th in the region and 25,219th in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
