The Dominion of Harlith is a large, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 173 million Harlithians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Education, and Administration also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 73.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Harlithian economy, worth 4.49 trillion Kifreys a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 25,957 Kifreys, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There is no such thing as an innocent fling in the Harlithian military, universities spend millions cultivating ivy on their buildings, roosters that herald the rising sun are immediately sent to the slaughterhouse, and citizens who leave the nation for work are instantly charged with treason. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Harlith's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Harlith is ranked 48,262^nd in the world and 5^th in Edoca for Most Corrupt Governments, with 51.44 kickbacks per hour.
