The Principality of Hereturi is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 159 million Hereturians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Defense, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The very strong Hereturian economy, worth 7.95 trillion florins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Average income is 50,015 florins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 273,102 per year while the poor average 4,688, a ratio of 58.3 to 1.

Police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, voting is voluntary, punitive tariffs protect local industry, and corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Hereturi's national animal is the cow.

Hereturi is ranked 231,686^th in the world and 13^th in Cabbage Land for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -4.43 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
