“Strength Through Compliance”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Commonwealth of Herfenzir is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.933 billion Herfenzirians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 27.9%.

The very strong Herfenzirian economy, worth 214 trillion Zerfs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,839 Zerfs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens know never to accept cookies from strangers, disadvantaged youths often commit felonies to enhance their educational prospects, Leader claims to be the epitome of family values, and kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Herfenzir's national animal is the Blobfish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Herfenzir is ranked 28,752^nd in the world and 418^th in 10000 Islands for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 193.85 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
