The Republic of Heyra is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chairman with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 15.921 billion Heyrans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.6%.

The thriving Heyran economy, worth a remarkable 1,269 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 79,742 Credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 340,516 per year while the poor average 11,990, a ratio of 28.4 to 1.

University graduates and new home-owners toil in labour camps to work off their debts, the hit new medical TV show "Home" prominently features the brand of painkiller the lead doctor is addicted to, commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies, and selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heyra's national animal is the Ant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Heyra is ranked 81,086^th in the world and 2^nd in Paraverse for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.82 law-abiding acts per hour.
