The Dieselpunk Dystopia of Harkback Union is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Legate Eutris with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 13.996 billion Harkbacks enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The large government is primarily concerned with Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Union City. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Harkback Unionian economy, worth a remarkable 2,071 trillion Cradits a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,984 Cradits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
The government decides its policies by observing the flight of birds, light entertainment shows are light on actual entertainment, the question of 'what is Legate Eutris's favorite color?' has been given a priority rating of burnt-orange, and the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Harkback Union's national animal is the Catten, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Utilitarianism.
Harkback Union is ranked 4,784th in the world and 224th in Osiris for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 95.09 Effective Tax Rate.
