The People's Jamahiriya of Herzliyya is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Herzliyyan People's Vanguard with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 40.678 billion Herzliyyans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Verda Urbo. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The all-consuming Herzliyyan economy, worth a remarkable 6,927 trillion steloj a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is an impressive 170,307 steloj, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, trying to toast marshmallows in an electric fireplace just isn't the same, Herzliyyans submit requests for a date in writing with an enclosed RSVP card, and children have nightmares about the eerie red glow and constant whirring of newly-installed machines. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Herzliyya's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Herzliyya is ranked 1,330^th in the world and 24^th in The North Pacific for Largest Populations, with 40.7 billion capita.
