The Republic of Sweet Harmony is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.25 billion Sweet Harmonyians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Sweet Harmonyian economy, worth 199 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 88,859 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 330,875 per year while the poor average 16,750, a ratio of 19.8 to 1.

The government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, and sick Sweet Harmonyians are hair today and gone tomorrow. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sweet Harmony's national animal is the turtle, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Sweet Harmony is ranked 58,748^th in the world and 5^th in Stars Above for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 66.27 Effective Tax Rate.
