The Commonwealth of Hexatombe is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.061 billion Flagellators are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vampir. The average income tax rate is 33.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Flagellator economy, worth 101 trillion Scrap metals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,324 Scrap metals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Condos feature wall-mounted cages containing endangered animals, weather forecasts regularly cover meteor showers, Leader has just been declared ruler of Hexatombe in an international press conference, and almost all products in Hexatombe are hand-crafted due to strict employment laws. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Hexatombe's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hexatombe is ranked 306,918^th in the world and 3,899^th in The East Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 21.87 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
