The Commonwealth of Hevetica is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 274 million Heveticans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 52.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Hevetican economy, worth 6.97 trillion Helvetic Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,428 Helvetic Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All citizens must pass a 'multicultural sensitivity test' to be deemed fit for society, the government is known to care more about its buildings than its people, code enforcement officers circle wealthy Heveticans like vultures, and reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hevetica's national animal is the Wolf.

Hevetica is ranked 146,642^nd in the world and 258^th in The Kodiak Republic for Highest Food Quality, scoring 15.94 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
