The Doom-Tree of Harndon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Spokesperson Kariva Ulav with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.311 billion Harndonians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quechkhonia. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The powerhouse Harndonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,545 trillion Monalmes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 108,024 Monalmes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, Spokesperson Kariva Ulav is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Harndon's national animal is the Wyvern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Harndon is ranked 303,987th in the world and 191st in The Social Liberal Union for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -9.88 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
