The Star Empire of Huerdae is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Niko'Dohsa with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, otherworldly petting zoo, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 38.269 billion Huerdaen enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The tiny, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helsearc. The average income tax rate is 4.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Huerdaen economy, worth an astonishing 12,547 trillion Huerdaen Ingots a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 327,871 Huerdaen Ingots, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Huerdae's national animal is the Hercules Beetle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is the Spirit.

Huerdae is ranked 17,646^th in the world and 4^th in Limitless Universe for Most Cultured, scoring 91 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
