The Federation of Herikstan is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Otto Von Eichmann with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, flagrant waste-dumping, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.021 billion Herikstanians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bueunos Dailes. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Herikstanian economy, worth 116 trillion Hekis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 113,701 Hekis, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 469,546 per year while the poor average 18,101, a ratio of 25.9 to 1.

Motorcycle riders are required to wear so much gear they've been nicknamed "Stay Pufts", breast milk lattes are the newest fad among hip urbanites, the police double as repo men, and foreign spirits are hard to find due to an abundance of "Cletus and Jim Bob's Homemade Herikstanian Moonshine". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Herikstan's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Herikstan is ranked 140,262^nd in the world and 700^th in Europeia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
