The Commonwealth of Herna Fage is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Danny Rhodes with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.416 billion Herna Fageans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antasas. The average income tax rate is 63.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Herna Fagean economy, worth 284 trillion Bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 117,675 Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Herna Fageans visiting rural Southern Wolf Village can get their driving records clean for a small fee, the countryside is shrouded by wind farms, victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, and popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Herna Fage's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Herna Fage is ranked 10,540^th in the world and 187^th in the West Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 12,618.56 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
