The Poseidon-Loving People of United Hemand Insia is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Perseus with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 955 million Half-bloods 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sea of Monsters. The average income tax rate is 58.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming United Hemand Insian economy, worth 90.7 trillion golden drachmas a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,965 golden drachmas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

It's widely agreed that to tennis players love means nothing, the government snoops on private internet connections, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, and a burger chain recently changed its name to Mack Donaldz for legal reasons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Hemand Insia's national animal is the cyclops, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

United Hemand Insia is ranked 215,090^th in the world and 4,297^th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -7.07 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
