The Dictatorship of Heeniumis is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 735 million Heeniumisians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 60.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Heeniumisian economy, worth 36.4 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,577 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", a broken arm or leg no longer costs an arm and a leg, forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, and everyone has the equal opportunity to have their wallet stolen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heeniumis's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Heeniumis is ranked 64,683rd in the world and 26th in Aeternas for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,721.65 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
