The Polygonal Dystopia of Great Hexagonal Nation is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Hex Lord with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, parental licensing program, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.234 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, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, 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 26.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Trighoulish economy, worth 248 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 reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 201,349 Octacoins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,015,350 per year while the poor average 22,260, a ratio of 45.6 to 1.

Infantry are nicknamed "mushrooms" because they get fed crap and are left in the dark, tourist operators promise visitors tours of live burning shipwrecks and plane crash sites, babysitters are a thing of the past, and the government says that Possession is nine-tenths of the Lore. 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 288,977th in the world and 11,177th in Lazarus for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2.58 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
