The Confederacy of Heraky is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 353 million Herans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 45.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Heran economy, worth 8.56 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,237 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, one can wake up in Heraky and have breakfast in Bigtopia, the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, and the government enables frack addiction. Crime is totally unknown. Heraky's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Heraky is ranked 26,453^rd in the world and 82^nd in Talonia for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 52.5 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
