The Republic of Alharatz is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Frederick with a fair hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.009 billion 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, although Industry, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 59.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alharatzian economy, worth 104 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 103,471 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Flipping a coin to make a decision leads to a referral to Gambling Addiction Services, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, and skin-tone prom dresses are more unpopular than ever. 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 31,633^rd in the world and 428^th in Europe for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.44 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
