The Republic of Herveres is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 10.793 billion Herveresians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 46.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Herveresian economy, worth 150 trillion guilders a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 13,861 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Harry Potter books are banned, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Herveres's national animal is the fox.

Herveres is ranked 217,593^rd in the world and 1^st in Warzone Lazarus for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 451.7 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
