The Republic of Alharatz is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 941 million Alharatzians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 52.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Alharatzian economy, worth 94.8 trillion euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,690 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has little issue with allowing its citizens to languish in foreign jails, the right school tie opens more doors than the right qualification, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and the Alharatzian basket weaving sector is on the brink of collapse as cheap imports flood the market. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alharatz's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alharatz is ranked 30,178^th in the world and 423^rd in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,356.27 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
