The State of Heth Ge Taec is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 25.628 billion Heth Ge Taecians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The very strong Heth Ge Taecian economy, worth a remarkable 1,162 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 45,376 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 308,502 per year while the poor average 2,438, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, Heth Ge Taec has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Heth Ge Taec in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Heth Ge Taec's national animal is the deer.

Heth Ge Taec is ranked 53,277^th in the world and 1^st in Quito for Most Primitive, scoring 51.96 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
