The Socialist Monarchy of Hexion is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Simon Delaware with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, avant-garde cinema, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 959 million Hexionians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dustbowl. The average income tax rate is 48.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Hexionian economy, worth 88.5 trillion Coins a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,244 Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scaffolding is built around scaffolding to give safe access, surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color, Simon Delaware has killer fashion sense, and annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals. Crime is totally unknown. Hexion's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Hexion is ranked 85,325^th in the world and 1,117^th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.82 law-abiding acts per hour.
