The Dictatorship of Hemzul is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.085 billion Hemzulians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The thriving Hemzulian economy, worth 190 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 61,744 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 218,555 per year while the poor average 12,594, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Hemzul's national animal is the Pike, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Hemzul is ranked 296,329^th in the world and 1^st in Saroniasi for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -4.47 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
