The Republic of The Heartland is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 23.547 billion Heartlandians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 75.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Heartlandian economy, worth 307 trillion aortas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 13,052 aortas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Heartland's national animal is the ventricle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Heartland is ranked 137,940th in the world and 2,545th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 221.34588611632 days.
