The Empire of Herya is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Heirich with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, soft-spoken computers, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.817 billion Heryae hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jawadeen. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Heryae economy, worth a remarkable 8,415 trillion Bizantiums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 447,245 Bizantiums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Torture is illegal, the nation has declared its intention to "stretch out", truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, and the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause. Crime is totally unknown. Herya's national animal is the Centaur, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Herya is ranked 315,893^rd in the world and 129^th in Portugal for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
