“Blessed with Victory and Peace”

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

The Empire of Hersegovia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Sergey Romanovirovich Ivanov with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, prohibition of alcohol, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.029 billion Hersegovians 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 is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Siverskingd'nest. The average income tax rate is 16.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Hersegovian economy, worth 53.6 trillion Spiegels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 52,089 Spiegels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, the official Hersegovian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, minor parties are virtually absent in Parliament, and internet traffic has dropped to near zero. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Hersegovia's national animal is the Lion.

Hersegovia is ranked 68,434^th in the world and 739^th in the West Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 111.55 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
