The State of Hermanus is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by king Ian Melnish with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, enslaved workforce, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 15.331 billion Hermanusians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Defense, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hermanus City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Hermanusian economy, worth a remarkable 2,516 trillion Big Whales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 164,116 Big Whales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,474,796 per year while the poor average 2,298, a ratio of 641 to 1.

Televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, high-tech infantry rifles automatically reload when the soldier shoots outside the screen of their helmet HUD, international trade can be a pain to deal with, and artists are pillars of society. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Hermanus's national animal is the Whale, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hermanus is ranked 23,427th in the world and 1st in matheo for Most Stationary, with 1,488.38545715492 days.
