The Federal Republic of Heritagela is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jacob Suker with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.184 billion Heritagelans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belka. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Heritagelan economy, worth 260 trillion Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,385 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, AI citizens are criticized for being robotic, and the internal market is thriving. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heritagela's national animal is the Red Tailed Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Judaism.

Heritagela is ranked 13,318^th in the world and 217^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 351.59 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
