The Rogue Nation of Higgstonia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Higgus Dickus with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, unlimited-speed roads, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 4.11 billion Higgles are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Irvington. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 92.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Higgsy economy, worth a remarkable 1,117 trillion Higgpennies a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 271,945 Higgpennies, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

Heartbroken parents are urged to "smile for the camera", the Higgsy football team for the Maxxmas ceasefire consists only of Intelligence Corps personnel, the countryside is shrouded by wind farms, and there's no representation without taxation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Higgstonia's national animal is the Moose, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Higgstianity.

Higgstonia is ranked 30,775th in the world and 1st in New Brunswick for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 5,480.09 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
