The Republic of Por Harberld is a tiny, cultured nation, renowned for its state-planned economy. The democratic, devout population of 9 million Por Harberldians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 43.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The developing Por Harberldian economy, worth 350 billion Rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 38,966 Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and when shaking hands with foreign leaders Leader wears an armoured gauntlet. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Por Harberld's national animal is the Tiger.

Por Harberld is ranked 323,220^th in the world and 2,339^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Populations, with 9.00 million capita.
