The Holy Empire of Harks is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning hawk population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 17.527 billion Harksians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 13.6%.

The Harksian economy, worth 858 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,987 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is compulsory, organ donation is compulsory, drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, and military funding has been stripped back. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Harks's national animal is the hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Harks is ranked 221,613th in the world and 18th in Singapore for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 769.07 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
