The Heffnostate

The Heffnostate is the homeland of the Heffleys. Its name is a portmanteau of the words "Heffley" and "ethnostate", being a nation whose population is dominated by Heffleys. Its physical location primarily manifests in West Asia, north of the Arabian peninsula and spanning modern-day Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Israel and parts of Iran. Its capital is the municipality of Batman located in the region of Southeastern Anatolia in Turkey.

History
The Heffnostate came into being gradually throughout the formation of early Jritter from the months of November 2019 to April 2020. The first de facto leader of the Heffnostate was Jreg Heffley, as he was the first and most important of all the Heffleys. Its unicameral legislature, the Heffley Hive Mind, predates the Heffnostate itself and was created by Jreg Heffley at an unknown time, and remains an important meeting place for all Heffleys, though activity has diminished in the months since its creation. The Heffnostate was the sole governing body of all Heffleys until the formation and secession of the Soulist Union during the Heffnostate Revolution, which eventually dissolved due to lack of activity.

The first Heffnostate elections took place on June 4 of 2020, days before the Jrittercide. Heffley Jreg (then called Heffley van Jreg) won by a margin of 1%, and was elected first Prime Minsiter of the Heffnostate (as of January 2021 she is still in office).

Following the Jrittercide, the Heffnostate diminshed in substance and its population dwindled as many Heffley accounts were deactivated or forgotten, although some persevered and preserved the Heffley culture, one of the most notable of these Heffleys being Comrade Jeff Hregly. Since the end of the Jreat Jrar and epoch of Jreg Universe, the Heffnostate has been revived to some extent, with new Heffleys such as Dream Heffley, Illumina Heffley and Heffley Not Found partaking in the Jreg reply gimmick alongside new jrimmick accounts such as the Jreven Universe jrimmicks and the JrouTuber jrimmicks.

Two official Heffnostate Twitter accounts exist; @heffnostate and @heffnogov.

Geography
Despite attempts by confused teen(s) to map out the nation, the exact geography of the Heffnostate remains an enigma. Its total landmass is inquantifiable, although at least four regions of the Heffnostate have been successfully charted, especially the region known as the New Soviet Socialist Republic, which occupies most of the geographical area known as "Turkey". Its core provinces in the Middle East are distributed similarly to a political compass, with the N.S.S.R. being situated northwest, the home of Heil Jreffory and Jregay Heffley to the northeast, and the province of Heffcapistan located in the southwest adjacent to Saudi Arabia. A thin strip of Heffcapistani territory, no more than half a kilometer wide, runs along the entire southern border of the core provinces in order to facilitate trade routes to and from the Mediterranean.

Laws
The Heffnostate possesses a judicial system very loosely based on the Consitution of the Heffnostate, although there has never been a criminal case in the history of the Heffnostate. The Prime Minister is the head of both the executive and judicial branches of the Heffnostate government.

Citizenship
All Heffleys are citizens of the Heffnostate by birth. It is possible for non-Heffleys to gain citizenship in the Heffnostate by requesting a Heffnostate ID Card from the official Heffnostate Twitter account. These ID Cards are embedded with microchips that enable GPS tracking via a constellation of eighteen Heffnostar-2 satellites in orbit around the Earth, which are used to ensure the protection and safety of new citizens. Rumors regarding possible orbital bombardment by the Heffnostate government are baseless and false. Under no circumstances will you be a target of Heffnostate ICBMs.

National Flag
The national flag of the Heffnostate is based on an r/Jreg post by Reddit user u/u01aua1, and was edited to depict the profile pictures of Comrade Jeff Hregly, Jreff Caply, Drug Heavily and Heil Jreffory, all of whom are Heffleys originally based on the four main political ideologies featured in the Centricide webseries.

Trivia
The People's Republic of China, US and USSR are the only members of the international community to recognize the Heffnostate as a legitimate nation.
