The Oppressed Peoples of Harad and rhun is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 379 million Easterlings are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mistrand. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Rhunic economy, worth 14.7 trillion Iron Circlets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 38,719 Iron Circlets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The general public only knows their favorite politician's first name, the nation continues to depend on foreigners for food, teachers are routinely tested to keep their jobs, and Harad and rhun has designated Mistrand as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Harad and rhun's national animal is the Tiger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Harad and rhun is ranked 55,067^th in the world and 1^st in Rhun and rhovanion for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.88 law-abiding acts per hour.
