The Dictatorship of Brick Heck is a small, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 40 million Brick Heckians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, International Aid, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.0%.

The strong Brick Heckian economy, worth 1.48 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 36,997 rubles, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 251,025 per year while the poor average 2,000, a ratio of 125 to 1.

Hit and run driving is no longer a crime - it's the national sport, wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, convicted conmen and fraudsters often leave prison to enter a career in politics, and 9 out of 10 consumers think that vitamins can cure cancer. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Brick Heck's national animal is the penguin.

Brick Heck is ranked 115,439^th in the world and 21^st in Crimsons puppets for Smartest Citizens, with 34.25 quips per hour.
