The Screaming Caves of Hardhome is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.187 billion Wildlings are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Hardhome economy, worth 8.93 trillion furs 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 Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. Average income is 7,522 furs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hardhome's national animal is the human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Hardhome is ranked 167,938th in the world and 2,122nd in Artificial Solar System for Highest Food Quality, scoring 14.1 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
