The Holy Empire of Haret is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Chosen One with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, avowedly heterosexual populace, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.058 billion Haretians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Spirituality, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paradise Gate. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Haretian economy, worth a remarkable 6,157 trillion Blessings a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 306,962 Blessings, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,257,292 per year while the poor average 49,548, a ratio of 25.4 to 1.
Surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color, the police think a properly conducted criminal investigation is a real pain, it's widely agreed that to tennis players love means nothing, and there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Haret's national animal is the Griffin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is High Truth.
Haret is ranked 11,276th in the world and 9th in Autropolis for Lowest Crime Rates, with 98.9 law-abiding acts per hour.
