The Intense Rabblarchy of Hermiones Knickers is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Hermione with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 32.886 billion Hermiones Knickersons are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vibratoria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Hermiones Knickersian economy, worth a remarkable 7,434 trillion Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 226,069 Crowns, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 648,174 per year while the poor average 62,734, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

Agricultural employees work for peanuts, Michelin-star chefs are being called on to prepare menus for six-year-olds, all weapon research has been banned, and citizens no longer take selfies with their dead relatives at funerals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hermiones Knickers's national animal is the hippogriff, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholic Dingbat.

Hermiones Knickers is ranked 68,096^th in the world and 30^th in Wysteria for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,473.26 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
