The Candy-coated Emerald Gardens of Harmoneia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chairwoman An with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, strictly enforced bedtime, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 30.257 billion Harmoneians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The enormous but inefficient Harmoneian economy, worth a remarkable 2,341 trillion Phoenix Fens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 77,393 Phoenix Fens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Moonshine has made a resurgence, religious turf wars have caused frustrated police to pray for divine intervention, the government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to, and the nation has abandoned Brasilistan to its fate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Harmoneia's national animal is the sky unicorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Harmoneia is ranked 98,757^th in the world and 2,543^rd in the Rejected Realms for Most Corrupt Governments, with 13.35 kickbacks per hour.
