The Kingdom of Housearryn is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Jon Arryn with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 26.286 billion Housearrynians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Eyrie. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The thriving Housearrynian economy, worth a remarkable 1,938 trillion Dragons a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 73,749 Dragons, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 275,018 per year while the poor average 13,869, a ratio of 19.8 to 1.

The people are famous throughout the region for their bleached-white teeth, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, women earn less than half the salary of men if they can even find a job, and sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes. Crime is a problem. Housearryn's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The Seven.

Housearryn is ranked 18,573^rd in the world and 6^th in Christmas for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 69,545.66 Standard Monetary Units.
