The Republic of Uncle Herschel is a very large, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning Biscuit population. The hard-working population of 249 million Uncle Herschelians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 16.6%.

The Uncle Herschelian economy, worth 11.5 trillion Biscuits a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is 46,119 Biscuits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uncle Herschel's national animal is the Biscuit.

Uncle Herschel is ranked 120,123^rd in the world and 4^th in Cracker Barrel for Fattest Citizens, with 10.58 Obesity Rate.
