The Holy United Socialist States of Hemogard is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Peoples's Eco-Commissar Ernest Drake with an even hand, and renowned for its lack of airports, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.335 billion Hemogardians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mariiataria. The average income tax rate is 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hemogardian economy, worth 137 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 102,913 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, a degree in Peoples's Eco-Commissar Ernest Drake Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hemogard's national animal is the Trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

Hemogard is ranked 36,757^th in the world and 5^th in Liberlandia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 190 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
