The Federal Republic of Hex Licagevio is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its frequent executions, digital currency, and feral children. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 359 million Licagevians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Laphidepliah. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.4%.

The thriving Licagevionic economy, worth 22.4 trillion pills a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 62,368 pills, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 240,256 per year while the poor average 11,136, a ratio of 21.6 to 1.

Clandestine emigration to countries with labor laws is all the rage, bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, a popular saying is "don't do the crime if you can't smash the lime(stone)", and scaffolding is built around scaffolding to give safe access. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Hex Licagevio's national animal is the bat, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Hex Licagevio is ranked 106,492^nd in the world and 7^th in Hextravaganza for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.26 percentage of bribes refused.
