The ☭Social☆Marxist☆UtopiaⒶ of Thomas Harriot is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Comrade Harriot with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.612 billion Astronomers are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Big Crater. The average income tax rate is 86.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thomas Harriot economy, worth 357 trillion Pis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 136,925 Pis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vital intelligence-gathering activities are often put on hold for Call of Honor tournaments, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets, and scientists take credit every time it rains in The Moon. Crime is totally unknown. Thomas Harriot's national animal is the Galactic Cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Church of TH.

Thomas Harriot is ranked 32,481^st in the world and 5^th in The Moon for Highest Average Incomes, with 136,925.04 Standard Monetary Units.
