The Armed Republic of Hesbollah is a large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The democratic, devout population of 68 million Hesbollahians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government prioritizes Spirituality, with Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 47.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Hesbollahian economy, worth 2.17 trillion Cashes a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,951 Cashes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, Harry Potter books are banned, and military spending recently hit a new high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hesbollah's national animal is the Lion.

Hesbollah is ranked 262,337th in the world and 4,541st in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -43.01 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
