The State of Hentley is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 35.758 billion Hentleyians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Healthcare, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The thriving Hentleyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,870 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 52,298 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 151,461 per year while the poor average 14,310, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, surveillance cameras are banned, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and Hentley has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Hentley's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Hentley is ranked 253,009^th in the world and 1^st in Tristan da Cunha for Lowest Crime Rates, with 50.49 law-abiding acts per hour.
