The Republic of Hegoak is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The quiet, industrious population of 402 million Hegoakians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Environment, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 33.2%.

The sizeable but inefficient Hegoakian economy, worth 14.6 trillion euskoes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,341 euskoes, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Customs turn away those considered to have an unfavourable ethnicity, all the playground's a stage for Hegoakian schoolchildren, the default state for Hegoak is default, and abortions are carried out secretly in shady backstreet clinics. Crime is a problem. Hegoak's national animal is the pony, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hegoak is ranked 233,713^th in the world and 23^rd in Gypsy Lands for Nicest Citizens, with 11.33 average smiles per day.
