The Child eaters of Haroldiaistan is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Skeletron with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.261 billion Skeletons are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bonevile. The average income tax rate is 76.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Haroldiaistanian economy, worth 389 trillion Bones 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 large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Tourism. 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 119,293 Bones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Libraries are bulldozed to make way for internet cafés, the government snoops on private internet connections, restaurateurs put a lot of effort into persuading customers to accept wafer-thin mints, and children regularly take part in blood sports that result in extreme boo-boos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Haroldiaistan's national animal is the Pumpkin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The skeleton.

Haroldiaistan is ranked 38,685^th in the world and 9^th in Bluecrown Keep for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 739.34 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
