“Shoot first, Ask Questions Later”

The Armed Republic of Hendras is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 3.177 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Commerce, the Environment, and Public Transport. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Gambling.

Surveillance cameras are banned, mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and most governmental positions are filled by zealous nationalists. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Hendras's national animal is the Chupacabra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Cubit.

Hendras is ranked 2653rd in the region and 55,136th in the world for Lowest Crime Rates.
