The Commonwealth of Herna Fage is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Danny Rhodes with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, soft-spoken computers, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate population of 2.429 billion Herna Fageans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antasas. The average income tax rate is 63.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Herna Fagean economy, worth 287 trillion Bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 118,553 Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The countryside is shrouded by wind farms, victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, and dessert dishes make up the Herna Fagean breakfast menu. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Herna Fage's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Herna Fage is ranked 136,817^th in the world and 1,714^th in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 686.55 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
