The Federal Republic of Heritagela is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Jacob Suker with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 2.165 billion Heritagelans 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, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belka. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Heritagelan economy, worth 259 trillion Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,880 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, school children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel, intoxicated AI mobile platforms are sometimes seen crashing through windows instead of being crashed by them, and it turns out you can teach cats new tricks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heritagela's national animal is the Red Tailed Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Judaism.

Heritagela is ranked 10,905^th in the world and 215^th in Europe for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 55.21 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
