The Republic of Harvy Hall is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and public floggings. The compassionate, democratic population of 79 million Harvy Hallians 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, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 46.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Harvy Hallian economy, worth 2.30 trillion Droolers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,128 Droolers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military frequently holds bake sales to raise funds, parents often leave their kids in the car while they attend mindfulness meditation sessions, flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug, and sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Harvy Hall's national animal is the Badger.

Harvy Hall is ranked 225,554^th in the world and 29^th in The Collected States of Harvey Hall for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 42.43 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
