The Republic of Alharatz is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 996 million Alharatzians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 57.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alharatzian economy, worth 103 trillion euros a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,546 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Smoking is banned in public areas, there is an abondance of ackawi and zartschmelzend in every Alharatzian grocery store, the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, and politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alharatz's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alharatz is ranked 24,306^th in the world and 359^th in Europe for Safest, scoring 111.74 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
