The Unholy Empire of Hsakh is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Empress von Lohengramm with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.293 billion Hsakhians 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, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heissenen. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Hsakhian economy, worth a remarkable 3,205 trillion nukes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 196,722 nukes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 739,368 per year while the poor average 36,538, a ratio of 20.2 to 1.

Shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business, and the nation's weary schoolchildren excel at sport but must count scores on their fingers. Crime is relatively low. Hsakh's national animal is the Hsakh snake of doom, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hsakh is ranked 313,901^st in the world and 13^th in Nova Minor for Longest Average Lifespans, with 28.58 years.
