The Corner of H-Zhena is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Dygonite with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.843 billion Zhenans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shu'ulathoi. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zhenan economy, worth 517 trillion scarabs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 181,910 scarabs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The Department of Reduction of Bureaucratic Red Tape has set up a working committee to investigate its own excessive paperwork, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, and it is mandatory for actors to exit stage left. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. H-Zhena's national animal is the honey badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

H-Zhena is ranked 157,624^th in the world and 6,053^rd in The East Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -127.13 on the Hayek Index.
