The Vereinigte Königreiche of Heilige Stadt is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 571 million Heiligs are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mon-stadt. The average income tax rate is 51.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Heilig's economy, worth 54.5 trillion Wasser stamps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 95,423 Wasser stamps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of Heilige Stadt, the fate of the world literally rests on Leader's fingers, and pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heilige Stadt's national animal is the Otter, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Heilige Stadt is ranked 32,094^th in the world and 17^th in Mitteleuropa for Safest, scoring 108.39 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
