The Racing Kingdom of Hendrick4824 is a massive, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.006 billion are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Defence and Commerce are secondary priorities. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports industries.

It is a crime to offend someone's religious beliefs, cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, citizens must pay to enjoy Hendrick4824's pristine beaches, and mobile phone masts are being erected all over the country. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Hendrick4824's national animal is the thoroughbred, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dollar.
