The Commonwealth of Herfenzir is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hem Hem with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.709 billion Herfenzirians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dreadonia. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Herfenzirian economy, worth a remarkable 1,041 trillion Zerfs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 182,360 Zerfs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Virtually all of the country's economic activity takes place in Dreadonia, whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company, historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism, and hospitals scramble for new disinfectants following a ban on rubbing alcohol. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Herfenzir's national animal is the Blobfish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Blue Ribbon.

Herfenzir is ranked 60,546^th in the world and 160^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,791.18 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
