The Holy Empire of Harmony Choas is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Good Overlord Fluttershy with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 13.605 billion Harmony Choasians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Holy Harmony City. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Harmony Choasian economy, worth a remarkable 3,185 trillion Bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 234,123 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, Good Overlord Fluttershy's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, and actively encouraging climate change is helping reduce winter fuel costs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Harmony Choas's national animal is the Pegasus, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Harmony's Light.

Harmony Choas is ranked 291,186th in the world and 11,381st in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -31.84 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
