The Free Land of Danny Hebert is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, rampant corporate plagiarism, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 8.927 billion Danny Hebertians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.9%.

The very strong Danny Hebertian economy, worth 529 trillion Works a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 59,330 Works, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 205,525 per year while the poor average 12,508, a ratio of 16.4 to 1.

School plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, it is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, and medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Danny Hebert's national animal is the Owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Danny Hebert is ranked 224,349^th in the world and 13^th in Brockton Bay for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,124.1 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
