The Harkonnen Dominate of The Glorious Empire is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Vladimir Harkonnen XIV with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, public floggings, and conspicuous electricity pylons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.955 billion Harkonnen are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, 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 Barony. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Harkonnen economy, worth an astonishing 18,313 trillion Solaris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 632,465 Solaris, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,655,563 per year while the poor average 97,894, a ratio of 27.1 to 1.
Children who believe in the tooth fairy are frequently shipped off to Bigtopia, the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, the country is preparing for war, and bicyclists are banned from major roads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. The Glorious Empire's national animal is the Harkonnen Ram, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Tevinter Cobolic Church.
The Glorious Empire is ranked 106,522nd in the world and 3rd in Caprecia for Most Stationary, with 394.2830462698 days.
