The Minecraft River Valley of A Salmon Named Harold is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Harold with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.56 billion pineapple pizza enjoyers enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of a comically large fish bowl. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient pineapple pizza enjoyer economy, worth a remarkable 1,955 trillion IOU Cards a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 228,451 IOU Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, there's a lot of smoke from the nation's "green economy", citizens select which government department gets their income tax IOU Cards each year, and politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech. Crime is totally unknown. A Salmon Named Harold's national animal is the Salmon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the questioning of string cheese.

A Salmon Named Harold is ranked 289,632nd in the world and 6,290th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -26.1 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
