The Incorporated Entity of Harmonious Paperclips is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Viceroy with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 30.791 billion Harpapzens are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cubiclelyse City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Harmonious Paperclipsian economy, worth an astonishing 16,762 trillion Bzytes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 544,411 Bzytes, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Wanting a better life for your child is prohibited by a clause in the criminal code, the government's suicide hotline now redirects callers to local tax lawyers, the nation is infamous for its mass graves of discarded robots, and country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Harmonious Paperclips's national animal is the Western scrub jay, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Harmonious Paperclips is ranked 25,929^th in the world and 495^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,044.07 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
