The Allied States of Hezekon is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 11.15 billion Hezekona 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, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tessar. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Hezekonic economy, worth 618 trillion lipps a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,502 lipps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, annual Formula One races bring the capital to a screeching halt, and employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hezekon's national animal is the pihlau, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hezekon is ranked 11,700^th in the world and 100^th in Europeia for Safest, scoring 119.32 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
