The Glorious Empire of Hekp is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Mikhail II with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, pith helmet sales, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.941 billion Hekvites, 3.75 billion of whom are zombies, are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hekpia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Hekpian economy, worth a remarkable 2,583 trillion Monies a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 458,614 Monies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,327,688 per year while the poor average 19,926, a ratio of 167 to 1.

At the edge of the final frontier space's biggest missile platform is about to unfold, the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network, foreign governments regularly accuse the Hekpian military of war crimes, and netizens fiercely argue over who loves Emperor Mikhail II more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Hekp's national animal is the Double Headed Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Georgist Orthodoxy.

Hekp is ranked 313,262^nd in the world and 250^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -22.8 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
