The Empire of Herya is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Heirich with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.596 billion Heryae are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Environment, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jawadeen. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Heryae economy, worth a remarkable 5,706 trillion Bizantiums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 419,754 Bizantiums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, surfing lessons include how to ward off sharks, pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy, and gossip magazines have pictures of Emperor Heirich sunbathing on the beach with political rivals. Crime is totally unknown. Herya's national animal is the Centaur, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Herya is ranked 258,221^st in the world and 196^th in Portugal for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -34.55 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
