The Most Serene Republic of The Philosophical Kingdom of Heathcliffe is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Heathcliffe von Lübenstein with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 19.717 billion Heathcliffetites 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 enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Staten üpon Avon. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Heathcliffean economy, worth a remarkable 3,279 trillion Cliffenotes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 166,350 Cliffenotes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Heathcliffe von Lübenstein panders to nontraditional families, the mining industry has taken a hit from tighter environmental regulations, a government program is underway to revitalize The Philosophical Kingdom of Heathcliffe's beaches, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Philosophical Kingdom of Heathcliffe's national animal is the Tardigrade, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cliffetianity.

The Philosophical Kingdom of Heathcliffe is ranked 291,311th in the world and 264th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Fattest Citizens, with 4.68 Obesity Rate.
