The Federation of Hercl is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 541 million Herclians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hercl City. The average income tax rate is 16.2%.

The very strong Herclian economy, worth 49.8 trillion Droffilcs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 92,060 Droffilcs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign musicians that Leader dislikes are turned away at the border, large sections of Hercl have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there, families must live in a village for a century before they get any say in how it runs, and orphanages are closing their doors as the government forces parents to actually raise their children. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Hercl's national animal is the Bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hercl is ranked 184,991^st in the world and 9^th in Novian Galaxy for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,278.94 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
