The Youtubecom of Harjad is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by John Doe with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, cheerful population of 17.743 billion Frogs enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hmmmm. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Harjadian economy, worth a remarkable 4,992 trillion Wednesdays a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 281,382 Wednesdays, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, major corporations receive tax breaks for no apparent reason, money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution, and teachers are skilled at leaving no evidence of child cruelty. Crime is totally unknown. Harjad's national animal is the Lepidobatrachus laevis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Doeism.

Harjad is ranked 4,834th in the world and 195th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 570.92 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
