The People's Republic of Herzagovania is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 177 million Herzagovanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 78.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Herzagovanian economy, worth 9.11 trillion Duims 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 51,459 Duims, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Calls to prayer are the newest dog whistles, the nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free, military spending recently hit a new high, and one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Herzagovania's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Herzagovania is ranked 272,649^th in the world and 138^th in Declansburg for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -7.23 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
