The Democratic Republic of Hey and ay is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.322 billion Hey and ayians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Spirituality, Industry, and Welfare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Law & Order are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.7%.

The powerhouse Hey and ayian economy, worth 116 trillion сэелиныs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Gambling, and Retail. Average income is 87,952 сэелиныs, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, birth rates have hit an all-time low, ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter Hey and ayian pirates, and the newest East Lebatuckese coins have "long live East Lebatuck" on heads and "death to Hey and ay" on tails. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Hey and ay's national animal is the кролик, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hey and ay is ranked 15,121^st in the world and 545^th in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 7,841.26 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
