The Kingdom of SirHardHead is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its lack of airports, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 19.95 billion SirHardHeadians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Smiles. The average income tax rate is 97.6%.
The frighteningly efficient SirHardHeadist economy, worth a remarkable 3,033 trillion dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,050 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, light entertainment isn't dead, military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies, and the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SirHardHead's national animal is the Donkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
SirHardHead is ranked 2,070th in the world and 82nd in Balder for Safest, scoring 147.44 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
