The Secular Republic of Haroutito is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Goshgarian with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 31.507 billion Haroutitoans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osea. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The enormous but inefficient Haroutitoan economy, worth a remarkable 2,952 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 93,723 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others, books are so highly regarded in Haroutito that libraries are often revered as holy shrines, soldiers find that home gadgets and power tools are more effective as improvised weapons than the guns they've been issued, and one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Haroutito's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is secular.

Haroutito is ranked 4,575^th in the world and 25^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 15,630.59 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
