The Boundless Honour of Harks Enth Kry is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, flagrant waste-dumping, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.5 billion Samurais are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 48.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ronin economy, worth 879 trillion Yen a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 117,293 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

A video of Leader wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, train stations have more platforms than a 1970s disco, group hugs break out during floor votes, and the nation is known abroad mostly for its Parliamentary antics. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Harks Enth Kry's national animal is the Sparrow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Harks Enth Kry is ranked 11,335th in the world and 880th in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 144.31 kickbacks per hour.
