The Glorious Empire of Hekp is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Mikhail II with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.558 billion Hekvites are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hekpia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Hekpian economy, worth a remarkable 2,538 trillion Monies a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 456,700 Monies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,313,800 per year while the poor average 19,843, a ratio of 167 to 1.

The hills are alive with the smell of burning flesh, the nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, colonial subjects have Hekpian culture shoved down their throats, and caps with skulls on them are the height of fashion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Hekp's national animal is the Double Headed Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Georgist Orthodoxy.

Hekp is ranked 324,842^nd in the world and 252^nd in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 74.89 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
