The Democratic Confederation of Henren is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Henry J Hernman with a fair hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, conspicuous electricity pylons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.04 billion Henrenians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marinda. The average income tax rate is 49.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Henrenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,426 trillion Henies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 142,066 Henies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, many marriages go virtually unconsummated, major internet servers have acquired citizenship, and lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Henren's national animal is the Giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Henren is ranked 15,263^rd in the world and 966^th in Lazarus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,029.41 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
