The Ur-Quan Masters of Hesperonis is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lord 353 with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful population of 33.708 billion Ur-Quans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Delta Crateris V. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Hesperonisian economy, worth an astonishing 19,779 trillion Sa-Matras a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is a breathtaking 586,780 Sa-Matras, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,271,299 per year while the poor average 52,547, a ratio of 62.3 to 1.

Every new toxic waste dump comes with a seal of approval from the government's science advisor, it's best not to ask what goes into Delta Crateris V Fried Chicken's secret blend of herbs and spices, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, and toddler groups haven taken over local libraries. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Hesperonis's national animal is the Dnyarri, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Path of Now and Forever.

Hesperonis is ranked 19,311^th in the world and 608^th in Lazarus for Most World Assembly Endorsements, with zero Valid Endorsements.
