The Vereinigte Königreiche of Heilige Stadt is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 740 million Heiligs 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mon-stadt. The average income tax rate is 51.0%.

The all-consuming Heilig's economy, worth 76.7 trillion Wasser stamps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 103,607 Wasser stamps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service, major boxing matches are held in government buildings, and the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heilige Stadt's national animal is the Otter, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Heilige Stadt is ranked 144,938^th in the world and 100^th in Mitteleuropa for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,907.14 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
