The People's Republic of Henchikurin is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Takashima with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 15.313 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 2,822 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 184,303 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Neon signs promoting safe driving often distract drivers, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, sales of trenchcoats are on the rise, and there's never enough space in space. 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 1,125th in the world and 11th in The Leftist Assembly for Safest, scoring 161.68 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
