The Republic of Hendricksons is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its national health service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.093 billion Hendricksonsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Hendricksonsian economy, worth 631 trillion Becks a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 89,055 Becks, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

Cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry, sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, in pet stores nationwide Pandas are growing in popularity, and East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hendricksons's national animal is the Panda, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hendricksons is ranked 220,628th in the world and 6,590th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 29.54499498008 days.
