The Iron-Fisted Imperium of Heilhum Imperius is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by High Lord Copperteir with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, strictly enforced bedtime, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.262 billion Imperials 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurum. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Heilhum Imperiusian economy, worth 176 trillion Imperium Aeris a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 139,821 Imperium Aeris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is wading into dangerous waters, bread-gangs raid restaurant waste bins to stockpile uneaten rolls, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, and police pull people off the street for even mentioning the word plane. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heilhum Imperius's national animal is the Aes Numen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nationalism.

Heilhum Imperius is ranked 14,736^th in the world and 804^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,278.8 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
