The Mega Corporation of Hecrewyth is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Alliegence with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.148 billion Hecrewythians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vraslirith. The average income tax rate is 86.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hecrewythian economy, worth 617 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 287,501 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Children are encouraged to chase pigeons, a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, restaurants have noticed that hanging wet laundry from the ceiling makes diners order more food, and amusement park rides frequently collapse due to lack of maintenance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hecrewyth's national animal is the Intern, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Supreme Allegiance.

Hecrewyth is ranked 329,378th in the world and 730th in Concord for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 23.86 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
