The Queendom of Historis is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.485 billion Historisians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lua. The average income tax rate is 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Historisian economy, worth 143 trillion Golds 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 led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 96,543 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, the government is raising the stakes on mental health to beat the odds of addiction, children crying over dropped ice creams are offered high doses of experimental antidepressants, and evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Historis's national animal is the Vixen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Historis is ranked 231,764^th in the world and 450^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,013.68 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
