The Federal Republic of Hendarxia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jonah Bennett with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.689 billion Hendarxians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Benetia. The average income tax rate is 55.3%.

The powerhouse Hendarxian economy, worth 183 trillion Harths a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 108,764 Harths, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Newspaper headlines proclaim something happened somewhere at a time, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, the invisible hand of the market has arrived under threat of the visible fist of sanctions, and people are left scratching their heads at the government's decisions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Hendarxia's national animal is the Big Fart, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Solarism.

Hendarxia is ranked 15,792^nd in the world and 523^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,622.87 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
