The Empire of Hexlans is a huge, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 489 million Hexlasians 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 tiny government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Halo. The average income tax rate is 7.2%.

The strong Hexlansian economy, worth 31.2 trillion Harps a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is 63,809 Harps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Hexlans has designated Halo as its capital city, search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, the national colors help to make everyone look slimmer, and exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies". Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Hexlans's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Hexlans is ranked 29,830^th in the world and 2^nd in The Celestial Empire for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 6,708.47 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
