The Commonwealth of Hexatombe is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, public floggings, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 971 million Flagellators 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vampir. The average income tax rate is 31.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Flagellator economy, worth 95.5 trillion Scrap metals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,398 Scrap metals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, you're only as old as you feel, condos feature wall-mounted cages containing endangered animals, and weather forecasts regularly cover meteor showers. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Hexatombe's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hexatombe is ranked 249,040^th in the world and 1,716^th in The East Pacific for Largest Populations, with 971 million capita.
