The Imperium of Heku is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Imperator Constantinus with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, zero percent divorce rate, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 31.54 billion Hekuvians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Venceia. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hekuvian economy, worth a remarkable 4,993 trillion Aurens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 158,312 Aurens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, people caught mistreating Heku's flag generally wind up in a great deal of pain, the government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, and it is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heku's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Imperial Catholicism.

Heku is ranked 274,227^th in the world and 37^th in Greater Ixnay for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -8.4 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
