The State of Heth Ge Taec is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 30.779 billion Heth Ge Taecians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The very strong Heth Ge Taecian economy, worth a remarkable 1,396 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 45,376 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 308,502 per year while the poor average 2,438, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, Heth Ge Taec has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Heth Ge Taec in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Heth Ge Taec's national animal is the deer.

Heth Ge Taec is ranked 227,173^rd in the world and 1^st in Heth Ge Taec for Nicest Citizens, with 11.33 average smiles per day.
