The Empire of Herya is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Heirich with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.669 billion Heryae hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jawadeen. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Heryan economy, worth a remarkable 4,031 trillion Bizantiums 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 377,849 Bizantiums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, fair-weather fans talk during plays while die-hard theatre enthusiasts stay at home, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and tourists need only sign on the dotted line to become citizens. Crime is totally unknown. Herya's national animal is the centauro, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Herya is ranked 152,661^st in the world and 108^th in Portugal for Largest Black Market, with 123 billion Standard Monetary Units.
