The Glorious Empire of Hekp is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Mikhail II with an iron fist, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, public floggings, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.386 billion Hekvites are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hekpia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Hekpian economy, worth a remarkable 2,444 trillion Monies a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 453,813 Monies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,314,421 per year while the poor average 19,266, a ratio of 172 to 1.

Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, water fights now end with thousands dead, the Ministry of Truthiness now manages the entire media industry, and the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Hekp's national animal is the Double Headed Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Georgist Orthodoxy.

Hekp is ranked 9,282^nd in the world and 13^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 8,798.19 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
