The Democratic Republic of Hexen 14 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 4.62 billion Hexen 14ians 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 medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 40.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Hexen 14ian economy, worth 48.6 trillion pounds 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, fairly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. 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 10,526 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hexen 14's national animal is the emu, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Hexen 14 is ranked 88,958th in the world and 3,945th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 87.1 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
