The Corner of H-Zhena is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Dygonite with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 9.344 billion Zhenans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shu'ulathoi. The average income tax rate is 80.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zhenan economy, worth a remarkable 2,484 trillion scarabs a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 265,918 scarabs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government loves seeing the little people fight, paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs, the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, and politicians can't accept birthday presents from their own children. 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 is also the nation's favorite main course.

H-Zhena is ranked 2,639^th in the world and 68^th in The East Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 257.73 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
