The Ilyohinan Republic of Harannica is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Consul Abdul Ghani al-Yamin with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.554 billion Harannicans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Galgaad. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Harannican economy, worth 41.7 trillion Kous a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 26,861 Kous, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Endangered species are effective hostages against the Harannican military, Ilyohin has been named as Harannica's national religion, the government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens, and signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Harannica's national animal is the Desert Hyenas, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ilyohin.

Harannica is ranked 31,089th in the world and 20th in Greater Dienstad for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.44 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
