The Holy Potato Democracy of Hieggary is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Hál Liyré with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.812 billion Hieggarins are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jortiny. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Hieggaric economy, worth 365 trillion Cjoyïrs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Average income is 95,969 Cjoyïrs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The official Hieggaric Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, the contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across Hieggary, one can wake up in Hieggary and have breakfast in Bigtopia, and proper policy proposals prerequire professional peer-reviewed papers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hieggary's national animal is the Sjedgg, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hieggary is ranked 276,951st in the world and 4,827th in The East Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -10.39 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
