The Commonwealth Communistique of Heilhum Imperius is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by High Lord Tindendrol with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, vat-grown people, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.16 billion Imperials are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurum. The average income tax rate is 82.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Heilhum Imperiusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,742 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. 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 amazing 213,593 Imperium Aeris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government violently suppresses separatist movements, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, religious bigotry and a fear of outsiders have replaced religious studies in schools, and photographers have to apply for a license to photograph High Lord Tindendrol. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a 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 14,670th in the world and 650th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 102 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
