The Trade Federation of Ming Hetsestria is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Minister with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.722 billion Min Hetsestrians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port-Hegesta. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Min Hetsestrian economy, worth 296 trillion Federation Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 172,231 Federation Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, Minister's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide, when their backs are against the walls Min Hetsestrians look out for gay men, and polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums. Crime is totally unknown. Ming Hetsestria's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protestantism.

Ming Hetsestria is ranked 11,190^th in the world and 9^th in The Bar on the corner of every region for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 385.09 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
