The State of Old Battle Harbour is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 32.734 billion Old Battle Harbourians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.

The very strong Old Battle Harbourian economy, worth 970 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing.
