The Federal Empire of Hedra is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Empress Maria Elvira I with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 10.608 billion Hedrans 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seville. The average income tax rate is 31.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Hedran economy, worth a remarkable 1,266 trillion Cruzeiroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 119,363 Cruzeiroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense, a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, it's not mass murder when the government does it, and shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hedra's national animal is the Hedran Imperial Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cyanism.
Hedra is ranked 14,895th in the world and 1st in Barbaria for Most Stationary, with 1,784.47537182392 days.
