The Commonwealth of Hexatombe is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its vat-grown people, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 917 million Flagellators are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vampir. The average income tax rate is 33.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Flagellator economy, worth 86.0 trillion Scrap metals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,754 Scrap metals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, the nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands, and the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass". Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Hexatombe's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hexatombe is ranked 288,040^th in the world and 3,682^nd in The East Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 48.07 on the Human Development Index.
