The Commonwealth of Harry Islands is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, flagrant waste-dumping, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.727 billion Harry Islandsians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harryville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.7%.

The all-consuming Harry Islandsian economy, worth 264 trillion Harryan Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 97,149 Harryan Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 280,835 per year while the poor average 26,652, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

Turnstile jumpers grow up to be tax cheats, there is no other place with more lab coats per square mile than former houses of worship, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Harry Islands's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Harry Islands is ranked 136,721^st in the world and 6,379^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.11 law-abiding acts per hour.
