The Fedaykin Empire of -Hellkite- is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Naib of Hellkite with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, national health service, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 28.297 billion Fremen are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arrakeen. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Fremen economy, worth a remarkable 7,749 trillion Water rings a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 273,863 Water rings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, weighted heels are added to military boots to ensure diminutive celebrities meet minimum requirements, and politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Hellkite-'s national animal is the Sandworm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

-Hellkite- is ranked 339^th in the world and 1^st in Dune for Most Developed, scoring 98.31 on the Human Development Index.
