The Insane Rich People of St Hiem Pappel State is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.424 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

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, Education, and Defence. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80%. A small private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Carro populations thrive as dogs are slaughtered in the millions, St Hiem Pappel State's Medieval Faire is renowned as one of the best in the region, graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, and pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are sold freely by the government. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. St Hiem Pappel State's national animal is the Carro, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the gold piece.

St Hiem Pappel State is ranked 4th in the region and 9,182nd in the world for Most Influential.
