The Holy and Unified Dominion of The Hexagon Industries is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Overseer with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.258 billion Illia are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paradigm. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Illian economy, worth a remarkable 2,519 trillion Hexagon Seraphs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 176,701 Hexagon Seraphs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Chain-gangs are often seen toting barges and lifting bales, pedants defending The Overseer observe that psychopaths and sociopaths aren't exactly the same thing, the Laws of War require "enthusiastic consent" (The Hexagon Industries has found 3 easter eggs), and the navy is hoping to hear the enemy shout "you sank my battleship!". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Hexagon Industries's national animal is the People, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Overseer's Vision.

The Hexagon Industries is ranked 269,264th in the world and 3rd in Rupra for Most Stationary, with 11.00695823332 days.
