The Grand Corporate Consortium of Harbitros is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lucius Strebenheim with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 28.127 billion Harbians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sterling City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Harbian economy, worth an astonishing 10,802 trillion Silverlings a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 384,068 Silverlings, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,580,919 per year while the poor average 3,664, a ratio of 977 to 1.

The smallest Harbian towns can be seen from space, it takes at least three to tango, businessmen behave differently if their supervisor is watching, and failing businesses often become the sites of unsolved murders. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Harbitros's national animal is the Fairy Groundhog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Theoavarism.

Harbitros is ranked 62,409^th in the world and 1^st in Lucretian Hegemony for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4,228.99 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
