The Child King of Herobics is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by The Child King with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.407 billion Heroes 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Family of Heroes. The average income tax rate is 88.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Heroic economy, worth a remarkable 2,666 trillion Oaths a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 233,756 Oaths, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's air force consists of strongly-worded letters folded into paper airplanes, the Word of Honour is a protected species, lobster tastes best when it is red, and warfare increasingly resembles a video game. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Herobics's national animal is the Word of Honour, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Family and Heroism.

Herobics is ranked 321,619^th in the world and 19^th in Haiku for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -464.94 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
