“Neniigu la opozicion!”

The People's Jamahiriya of Herzliyya is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Thomas Catkins with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 9.856 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Verda Urbo. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, a government program is underway to revitalize Herzliyya's beaches, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative. 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 is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the herzl.

Herzliyya is ranked 1310th in the region and 54,585th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
