The Republic of Hexanut io is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 6 million Hexanut ioans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The strong Hexanut ioan economy, worth 259 billion Hexes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 43,241 Hexes, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Hexanut io's national animal is the Hog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hexanut io is ranked 304,738^th in the world and 22^nd in Sycord Plume for Largest Governments, scoring 5.1 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
