The Dieselpunk Dystopia of Harkback Union is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Central Authorization Bureau with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and vat-grown people. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 24.017 billion Harkbacks hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Harkback Metroplex. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Harkback Unionian economy, worth a remarkable 3,545 trillion -MS a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,606 -MS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government decides its policies by observing the flight of birds, light entertainment shows are light on actual entertainment, the question of 'what is Central Authorization Bureau's favorite color?' has been given a priority rating of burnt-orange, and the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Harkback Union's national animal is the REDACTED, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Harkback Cult.

Harkback Union is ranked 152,224th in the world and 142nd in Wintreath for Most Stationary, with 151.31360454812 days.
