The Holy Empire of Sanctified Hellas is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by His Majesty Alexander II and VI with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 7.407 billion Hellenes are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, although Education, Environment, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thessalonica. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Hellenic economy, worth a remarkable 1,463 trillion Leukochrysoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 197,642 Leukochrysoes, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Today's secret ingredients are blood, sweat, and tears, hot dogs have been renamed lukewarm pigs, frequent flyers are chiseled into statues, and an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sanctified Hellas's national animal is the Eastern Imperial Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodoxy.

Sanctified Hellas is ranked 19,209^th in the world and 1^st in Byzantine Christendom for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 6,585.96 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
