The Commonwealth of Herfenzir is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Hem Hem with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, prohibition of alcohol, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.457 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 receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dreadonia. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Herfenzirian economy, worth 987 trillion Zerfs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 180,981 Zerfs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 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 24,721st in the world and 245th in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
