The Associated Communities of Heidgaudr is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Sildr Eyrnsingöfn with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.577 billion Heidgaudrians 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 enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ilfrý. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Heidgaudrian economy, worth 268 trillion kroner a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 104,373 kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Human tissue is grown in vats as a delicacy as well as for transplants, a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, and nine out of ten citizens of Heidgaudr answered 'nuclear safety inspector' when asked their occupation. Crime is totally unknown. Heidgaudr's national animal is the boreal owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Ástirism.

Heidgaudr is ranked 263,875^th in the world and 293^rd in Forest for Most Conservative, scoring 25.17 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
