The Republic of Heung Sing is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 283 million Heungsingers enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 28.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Heungsingese economy, worth 11.6 trillion Heung Sing Dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,829 Heung Sing Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Autocrats are persona non grata, tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, and community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heung Sing's national animal is the Pink Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Heung Sing is ranked 39,615^th in the world and 984^th in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 18.66 average smiles per day.
