The Confederated Echelons of Huri is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Isabella Klejedell with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 12.745 billion Huriese are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Villenzia. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Huriese economy, worth a remarkable 1,631 trillion Reais 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 127,997 Reais, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Birth rates have hit an all-time low, the government guarantees extra-soft tissues to fire-snorting elephants, worship days have replaced sick days, and kids are told they can be whoever they want to be when they grow up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Huri's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Huri is ranked 4,579^th in the world and 1^st in Merabloom for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 8,614.37 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
