The State of Heskurik is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Khrustah with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.819 billion Heskurikea are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lupmre City. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Heskuric economy, worth 965 trillion Heskuric Bënoes a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,861 Heskuric Bënoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Interest in globalism never flags, years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, the nation has declared its intention to "stretch out", and the countryside is shrouded by wind farms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heskurik's national animal is the Barno Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Krakowism.

Heskurik is ranked 4,600^th in the world and 7^th in Conch Kingdom for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 7,011.25 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
