The State of Harkin is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 31.248 billion Harkinians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 48.6%.

The very strong Harkinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,695 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 54,256 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Foreigners are treated with great suspicion, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, and Harkin has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Harkin's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Harkin is ranked 46,780th in the world and 3rd in Gabon for Most Stationary, with 937.3669000848 days.
