The Empire of Hecrewyth is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 642 million Hecrewythians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vraslirith. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Hecrewythian economy, worth 106 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 165,619 Credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 771,226 per year while the poor average 21,331, a ratio of 36.2 to 1.

One-stop superstores divide and conquer family businesses, corporate executives continue to enjoy generous tax benefits while the public is taxed to the hilt, napalm is the tool of choice for disabling eco-unfriendly forestry operations, and pharmacists increasingly claim they are morally obligated to take long lunches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hecrewyth's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Hecrewyth is ranked 18,043^rd in the world and 13^th in Concord for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,532.58 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
