The People's Republic of Hethas is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 10 million Hethics are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 42.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Hethic economy, worth 369 billion Hexals a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,913 Hexals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, nefarious Blackacrean surveillance has been replaced with patriotic Hethic surveillance, debates on whether toilet seats should be left up or down are increasingly commonplace, and movies depict muscle-bound women kicking down a titanium door to carry hysterical men to safety. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hethas's national animal is the Carebara diversa, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hethas is ranked 213,753^rd in the world and 3^rd in Altea for Least Corrupt Governments, with 91.9 percentage of bribes refused.
