The Plurinational State of Heitoria is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by The Supreme People's Assembly with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 868 million Heitorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dome 76. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Heitorian economy, worth 64.8 trillion person-hours a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Information Technology industry. Average income is 74,706 person-hours, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, abattoirs are struggling with the directive to 'wait until the animal dies of a ripe old age', sex education has become an intricate maze of stick figures and complex metaphors, and passengers often cause a stink on public transport. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heitoria's national animal is the Saffron finch, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Heitoria is ranked 104,546^th in the world and 455^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Stationary, with 156.048858462 days.
