The H of H of Herilla is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by H with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, public floggings, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.921 billion Herillans 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of H. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Herillan economy, worth a remarkable 1,238 trillion Nerds a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 209,227 Nerds, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

Political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, and women don't report crimes to the emergency services for fear of being arrested. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Herilla's national animal is the Unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Herilla is ranked 284,604th in the world and 271st in Nerdlandia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 15.52 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
