The Republic of Heart is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Attila Brady with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 9.782 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heartland. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.7%.

The strong Heartian economy, worth 490 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 50,140 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Some electoral districts are without a representative as they are stuck with perpetual revotes, children must make a homemade spinach and ricotta rotolo by high school or be held back, the Twelve Steps To Logging Off is the most popular mobile download, and seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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 275,514^th in the world and 7^th in Heart for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
