The Holy Empire of Guerra Heights is a large, genial nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, fear of technology, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 85 million Holy Uniocs have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 40.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Holy Unioc economy, worth 4.76 trillion Holy Carps a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,057 Holy Carps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sociologists can charge whatever fee they like as the nation tries to find itself, the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guerra Heights's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Guerra Heights is ranked 238,961^st in the world and 387^th in The League for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -9.65 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
