The Constitutional Monarchy of Haeruba is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Eliza III with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 2.548 billion Haerubans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harrington. The average income tax rate is 17.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Haeruban economy, worth 292 trillion Haeruban Nestalles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 114,828 Haeruban Nestalles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

International collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Haeruba, turning eighteen is often referred to as the 'Age of Aquarius', manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, and wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high. Crime is totally unknown. Haeruba's national animal is the Haeruban Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Haeruba is ranked 209,535th in the world and 350th in The League for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -0.99 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
