The Rogue Nation of Harkagrad is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 398 million black snakes with green eyes 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, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Nearest Apple Tree. The average income tax rate is 53.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped black snake with green eyes economy, worth 11.9 trillion pieces of cloth a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 29,796 pieces of cloth, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Harkagrad recently decided against having a capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Harkagrad's national animal is the black snake with green eyes, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Harkagrad is ranked 77,362^nd in the world and 5^th in Celtia for Most Armed, with 0.45 Weapons Per Person.
