The Constitutional Monarchy of Harapania is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 527 million Harapanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chinatown Pantai Indah Kapuk. The average income tax rate is 50.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Harapanian economy, worth 53.3 trillion haraps a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,045 haraps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, the government has been criticized for giving away Harapania's territory to anyone who claims it, and the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Harapania's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Harapania is ranked 13,282^nd in the world and 38^th in Concord for Safest, scoring 117.72 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
