The Republic of Hiorher is a massive, safe nation, ruled by The Oh Great Kind Lord of the East with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working population of 3.132 billion Hiorherics are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Welfare, and Education also on the agenda, while Public Transport and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Upper East Coast. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.9%.

The very strong Hiorherian economy, worth 228 trillion Hafeds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 72,813 Hafeds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 247,689 per year while the poor average 15,778, a ratio of 15.7 to 1.

Cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts, a tax exemption has created a new hunger for octogenarian millionaires dating women 60 years their younger, and pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hiorher's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is 50 atheism 50 Buddhism.

Hiorher is ranked 119,594th in the world and 7th in Trading Cards for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,691.16 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
