The Republic of Hendric is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Alaric Voss with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The quiet, industrious population of 1.771 billion Hendricians 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 Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hendria. The average income tax rate is 37.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hendrician economy, worth 213 trillion Hendrons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 120,735 Hendrons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, the nation's smallest Eagleball teams trade draft picks for a free lunch, and teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Hendric's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Solvarism.

Hendric is ranked 208,244^th in the world and 2,782^nd in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 33.18 on the Hayek Index.
