The Iron-Fisted Imperium of Heilhum Imperius is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by High Lord Copperteir with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, pith helmet sales, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.089 billion Imperials are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurum. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Heilhum Imperiusian economy, worth 318 trillion Imperium Aeris a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 152,469 Imperium Aeris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

War criminals are given full state funerals, the endangered saltwater humpback Aes Numen is only seen in captivity programs, travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, and the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heilhum Imperius's national animal is the Aes Numen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nationalism.

Heilhum Imperius is ranked 236,356^th in the world and 8,913^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -397 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
