The Republic of Heess Island is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning fox population. The hard-working population of 774 million Heess Islandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 16.6%.
The Heess Islandian economy, worth 35.7 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 46,137 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heess Island's national animal is the fox.
Heess Island is ranked 232,970th in the world and 1st in Hees Island for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
