“Arrogance through ignorance”

The Corner of H-Zhena is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Dygonite with an even hand, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 9.344 billion H-Zhenans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

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 H-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 265,933 scarabs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, the government offers gay men mildly offensive tips on how to pass as straight, political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster, and reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news. 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 2,644^th in the world and 68^th in The East Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 257.65 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
