The Dictatorship of Great Hexagonal Nation is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Hex Lord with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, otherworldly petting zoo, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.186 billion Trighouls are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Polydel. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Trighoulish economy, worth 229 trillion Octacoins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 193,167 Octacoins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 994,069 per year while the poor average 20,502, a ratio of 48.5 to 1.

The collars keep falling off pet snakes, royalist is the most offensive slur in the Trighoulish language, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and penurious citizens die from easily remedied ailments because they aren't 'taking enough initiative'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Hexagonal Nation's national animal is the Hexabear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Order Of The Hexagon.

Great Hexagonal Nation is ranked 273,129th in the world and 10,263rd in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 56 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
