The I think i miss raidingpuppet of Neo-Hermitius is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.627 billion hermitians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.3%.

The frighteningly efficient hermitian economy, worth a remarkable 1,167 trillion Herms a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 207,524 Herms, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,872,543 per year while the poor average 2,802, a ratio of 668 to 1.

Planes with cockpit glass are reserved for the top pilots, on hunt days the unpleasant peasant runs in lieu of the pheasant, from the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in Neo-Hermitius, and genetic research is facing major headwinds. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Neo-Hermitius's national animal is the hermit crab, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is hermigon.

Neo-Hermitius is ranked 256,975th in the world and 2nd in Hermitius for Fattest Citizens, with 7.15 Obesity Rate.
