The Queendom of Hexoatl is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The devout population of 488 million Hexoatlians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 56.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Hexoatlian economy, worth 8.98 trillion Golds 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, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. 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 18,411 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, Hexoatlian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Leader, televisions are often seized to pay for overdue television license fees, and the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hexoatl's national animal is the Cold-Ones, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hexoatl is ranked 140,447th in the world and 7th in Rhaea for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 660.14 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
