The Principality of Hessinau is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 225 million Hessinats have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.1%.

The powerhouse Hessinian economy, worth 21.7 trillion Korunas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is 96,510 Korunas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 274,357 per year while the poor average 27,101, a ratio of 10.1 to 1.

Teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects, people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, the right school tie opens more doors than the right qualification, and stockbrokers dream of getting rich by writing textbooks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Hessinau's national animal is the Crowned Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Hessinau is ranked 106,078^th in the world and 883^rd in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,571.79 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
