The Confederacy of Far Harbor is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 607 million Harborers are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Anchorage. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Harborian economy, worth 86.4 trillion Far Harbor Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 142,307 Far Harbor Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,187,082 per year while the poor average 3,351, a ratio of 354 to 1.

It is quite common for bar patrons to discuss Wittgenstein over cordials and games of backgammon, getting a haircut is a punishable offence, Leader can often be found attempting to coax random citizens' cats down from trees, and the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue". Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Far Harbor's national animal is the Fog Crawler, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Far Harbor is ranked 330,613th in the world and 274th in The Dominion of Order for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -14.49 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
