The Progressive Kingdom of Hendria is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Captain Spock with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 7.485 billion Hendrians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 84.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Hendrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,423 trillion pixie dusts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 190,217 pixie dusts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Captain Spock, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", and a popular saying is "don't do the crime if you can't smash the lime(stone)". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hendria's national animal is the tribble, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hendria is ranked 6,328th in the world and 271st in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 16,690.05 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
