The Republic of Lucky Harms is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.847 billion Lucky Harmsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 42.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Lucky Harmsian economy, worth 126 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,259 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail, dreams of entering the Super League have been relegated to the history books, primary candidates are replaced if they fail to compliment Leader's hair, and the sun rises an hour later on border communities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lucky Harms's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lucky Harms is ranked 169,493^rd in the world and 2^nd in Government and People for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 280.22 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
