The Great Golden Isles of Hewani is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Huzziya Phazia with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, pith helmet sales, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.01 billion Hewanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hewani City. The average income tax rate is 63.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Hewanian economy, worth 131 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 65,226 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry, postcards from Hewanian driving test centres are popular souvenirs, the banshee wail foretells skies of death, and the government spends millions of Dollars every year prosecuting spammers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hewani's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State atheism.

Hewani is ranked 156,858^th in the world and 6,274^th in The North Pacific for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 79,872 Standard Monetary Units.
