The House of Harclay is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Lord Benjen Harclay with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service. The devout population of 1.612 billion Harclays have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mooncrest. The average income tax rate is 34.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Harclay economy, worth 72.1 trillion silver stags a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,696 silver stags, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces", the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months, and nudity is frowned upon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Harclay's national animal is the fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is the old gods.

Harclay is ranked 278,101^st in the world and 60^th in Westeros for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.56 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
