The Plurinational Free-Land of Heitoria is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by General Secretary Toti with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.635 billion Freelanders hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dome 76. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Freelander economy, worth a remarkable 1,297 trillion person-hours a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 134,688 person-hours, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

AI management double books government press conferences, every computer glitch triggers an immediate counter-espionage response, the newly revamped army is so eager for action that it has trouble keeping the peace, and the black market offers sweet deals. Crime is totally unknown. Heitoria's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State atheism.

Heitoria is ranked 2,135^th in the world and 52^nd in The Communist Bloc for Highest Food Quality, scoring 269.15 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
