The Federal Republic of Hendarxia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Jonah Bennett with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.636 billion Hendarxians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Benetia. The average income tax rate is 65.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Hendarxian economy, worth 159 trillion Harths a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 97,365 Harths, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's beloved 'good-natured doormat' is inundated by begging letters, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, and newspaper headlines proclaim something happened somewhere at a time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Hendarxia's national animal is the Big Fart, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Solarism.

Hendarxia is ranked 46,263^rd in the world and 880^th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,063.64 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
