The Federal Republic of La Republicque de Saint Heion is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Étienne de Valcour with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.575 billion Heionians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valcouronne. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Heionian economy, worth 264 trillion Solons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 102,729 Solons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, Étienne de Valcour lives life on the open road - complete with groupies, and regional governors use national law books as toilet paper. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. La Republicque de Saint Heion's national animal is the Phenix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Democracy.

La Republicque de Saint Heion is ranked 16,529th in the world and 304th in Europe for Most Developed, scoring 87.82 on the Human Development Index.
