The Christmas Cheer of H-Zhena is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dygonite with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 10.588 billion H-Zhenans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shu'ulathoi. The average income tax rate is 58.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient H-Zhenan economy, worth a remarkable 2,799 trillion scarabs a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 264,391 scarabs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', older ladies are inundated with offers to help them cross the road, the H-Zhena Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, and the number of students attending university has reached a record high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. H-Zhena's national animal is the honey badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

H-Zhena is ranked 315,541^st in the world and 5,108^th in The East Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.19 flags saluted per person per day.
