The People's Republic of Henchikurin is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Takashima with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, complete lack of prisons, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 15.335 billion Hentish are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fuchu. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Hentish economy, worth a remarkable 2,830 trillion Yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 184,590 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's never enough space in space, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Fuchu Times is sold out, and birth rates have hit an all-time low. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Henchikurin's national animal is the Crane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shinto.

Henchikurin is ranked 603^rd in the world and 6^th in The Leftist Assembly for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 6,243.86 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
