The Holy Empire of Hesskin Empire is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Stephan II Durnstein with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 21.796 billion Hesskin are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 122,397 Hesskin Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hesskin Empire's national animal is the Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
