The Most Serene Republic of Highbreath is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The democratic population of 194 million Highbreathians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Highbreathian economy, worth 5.56 trillion Shackleses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Average income is 28,659 Shackleses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, and party leaders aid loyal supporters in opposition strongholds with a simple "Good luck" message. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Highbreath's national animal is the Mosquito, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Highbreath is ranked 6,985^th in the world and 3^rd in SimDemocracy for Most Secular, with 97.34 Atheism Rate.
