The Kingdom of Hebride is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate and punitive income tax rates. The hard-working, democratic population of 31.493 billion Hebridians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.0%.

The strong Hebrideian economy, worth a remarkable 1,109 trillion hebride pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 35,222 hebride pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, citizens select which government department gets their income tax hebride pounds each year, the military frequently holds bake sales to raise funds, and abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hebride's national animal is the hebride lynx.

Hebride is ranked 159,207^th in the world and 10^th in Austritaria for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 70.71 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
