The Principality of Heintsbergen is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, prohibition of alcohol, and enslaved workforce. The compassionate, devout population of 3.114 billion Heintsbergenians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.1%.

The strong Heintsbergenian economy, worth 172 trillion krenns a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,476 krenns, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government is in utter turmoil following the recent abolishment of the tax code, visitors to Heintsbergen are microchipped and must be escorted by a Heintsbergenian soldier - even to the bathroom, when shaking hands with foreign leaders Leader wears an armoured gauntlet, and prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heintsbergen's national animal is the snow leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Heintsbergen is ranked 47,698^th in the world and 231^st in Concord for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,147.79 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
