The Incorporated States of HARRIS ASIA is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate population of 266 million HARRIS ASIAians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 47.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong HARRIS ASIAian economy, worth 20.9 trillion bitcoins 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. 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 78,454 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, serial killers who are released early distribute death but not their seed, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, and atheists in the nation feel uneasy living in buildings where they were once vilified. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HARRIS ASIA's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

HARRIS ASIA is ranked 46,942^nd in the world and 4^th in Saint Osmund for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,937.4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
