The Republic of Heraldry Patriarch is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, ubiquitous missile silos, and smutty television.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 72.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Heraldry Patriarchian economy, worth 901 trillion Cards 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. 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 166,781 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Heraldry Patriarch's national animal is the Kuriboh, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
