The Ancient Empire of Hezapotamia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by King Hezekiah with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 11.126 billion Hezapotamians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saratoga. The average income tax rate is 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hezapotamian economy, worth a remarkable 1,059 trillion US Dollers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 95,242 US Dollers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hospitals scramble for new disinfectants following a ban on rubbing alcohol, the general public only knows their favorite politician's first name, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, and contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hezapotamia's national animal is the The White Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Hezapotamia is ranked 15,895^th in the world and 398^th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 93.31 law-abiding acts per hour.
