The Grand Duchy of Harren is one of three crownlands of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea. Since the Golden Bull of 1098, the Grand Duchy and associated Grand Ducal title have been one of the two definitive integral parts of the Urcean Crown, with the other being the Archduchy of Urceopolis. Initially a Duchy, Harren was elevated to the level of Grand Duchy in 1138. It is the third largest subdivision of Urcea by area and the second largest by population.

Demographics
Government
The Grand Duchy of Harren functions using a parliamentary model rather than the more common federal presidential model in use by the provinces of Urcea. The Royal Parliament of Harren functions as the primary government for the Grand Duchy. Upon advice of the Chancellor and Temporary President, the Apostolic King of Urcea appoints a Governor-General for the Grand Duchy. The Governor-General appointed for Harren is typically of the same party as that of the Chancellor and Temporary President, giving the Governor-General something resembling a democratic mandate, unlike the appointment process for the Archduchy of Urceopolis. Consequently, the Governor-General of Harren exercises some executive powers and serves as the Apostolic King's representative for constitutional functions. The government of the Grand Duchy is similar to the Government of Urcea, with the Governor-General serving as an analogue for the Procurator, albeit less powerful, and the Archducal Chancellor filling the role of head of government and leader of Parliament. The Royal Parliament and Grand Ducal government is based in the Hermitage in Cálfeld, the official residence of the Apostolic King of Urcea in the Grand Duchy.
