The Star Empire of Huerdae is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Niko'Dohsa with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 33.069 billion Huerdaen are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The tiny, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helsearc. The average income tax rate is 1.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Huerdaen economy, worth an astonishing 10,657 trillion Huerdaen Ingots a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 322,287 Huerdaen Ingots, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, war vets look after war animals, companies struggle to cover for the hordes of employees on parental leave, and families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Huerdae's national animal is the Hercules Beetle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Spirit.

Huerdae is ranked 16,325^th in the world and 4^th in Limitless Universe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 92.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
