The Republic of Heart is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Attila Brady with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 10.01 billion Heartians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heartland. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.7%.

The very strong Heartian economy, worth 551 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 55,011 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts, city-slickers are jelly of all the farmland the government is giving away, government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, and preschoolers outnumber veteran politicians in government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heart's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Love.

Heart is ranked 101,488^th in the world and 4^th in Heart for Smartest Citizens, with 36.35 quips per hour.
