The Countryball of HekpBall is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by The Hekpball with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, triple-decker prams, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.099 billion HekpBallians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hekpball. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.9%.

The frighteningly efficient HekpBallian economy, worth 973 trillion Unknowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 190,982 Unknowns, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,485,666 per year while the poor average 6,334, a ratio of 234 to 1.

It is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, a milk bath costs more than bathing in money, it's not just poseurs who wear oversized sound-cancelling headphones as they walk the city streets, and even in the most hardened climate scientists break down at the sound of a single drop of rain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. HekpBall's national animal is the Unknown, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Hekpballianism.

HekpBall is ranked 12,656^th in the world and 8^th in New Warsaw Pact for Highest Average Incomes, with 190,982.53 Standard Monetary Units.
