The Socialist Monarchy of Hexion is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Simon Delaware with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.036 billion Hexionians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dustbowl. The average income tax rate is 48.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Hexionian economy, worth 92.9 trillion Coins a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,660 Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Chekhov's guns are killing the entertainment budget, Owl is one of the most popular forenames in Hexion, corporate lobbying has been outlawed, and the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks. Crime is totally unknown. Hexion's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Perfectionism.

Hexion is ranked 38,629^th in the world and 514^th in the West Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 755.87 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
