The Federal Republic of Hermancia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Herman with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 15.728 billion Hermancians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hermany. The average income tax rate is 52.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hermancian economy, worth a remarkable 2,858 trillion Hermancian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 181,771 Hermancian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, and foreign workers are flooding in as Hermancian Dollars flood out. Crime is totally unknown. Hermancia's national animal is the Raptor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hermanism.

Hermancia is ranked 54,076^th in the world and 2^nd in Eurasia Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,976.65 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
