The Awesome Friendly Delegate of Harenhime is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 13.405 billion Harenhimeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harenhime City. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Harenhimean economy, worth a remarkable 1,385 trillion Bridge Tokens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 103,386 Bridge Tokens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
Shivering secretaries type letters under torrential downpours in open-roof offices, school lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp, dubiously qualified East Lebatuckese doctors prescribe ice baths as a treatment for pneumonia, and Harenhime Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Harenhime's national animal is the Grimm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Harenhime is ranked 12,433rd in the world and 290th in the Rejected Realms for Highest Economic Output, with 1,385 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
