The Kingdom of Heraclius is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Basileus Ario Pailalologos with an iron fist, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.295 billion Heracliusians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Constantinople. The average income tax rate is 85.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Heracliusian economy, worth 174 trillion Arionian Kontroes a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,701 Arionian Kontroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Heraclius is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, breast milk is being redistributed from each according to their ability to each according to their need, and a handful of megacorporations own every "craft brewery" in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heraclius's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Followers of Yeshua.

Heraclius is ranked 23,886^th in the world and 2^nd in One Collective Brain Cell for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,311.15 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
