The Cyberpunk Chaos of Headingtonia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 30.629 billion Alexandrians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Headingtonian economy, worth an astonishing 11,907 trillion Golden CatŪs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 388,777 Golden CatŪs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,851,888 per year while the poor average 16,247, a ratio of 175 to 1.

The moon's craters are more numerous every day, gossip magazines have been replaced by mask catalogs, it's best not to ask what goes into Headingtonia City Fried Chicken's secret blend of herbs and spices, and tour guides tell passengers that there is beautiful architecture just behind the two-hundred-foot concrete walls. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Headingtonia's national animal is the Zombie Original Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Cult of Loh.

Headingtonia is ranked 261,937th in the world and 6,177th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 44.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
