  Anacreon (planet) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It seems that it was very wealthy, because Salvor Hardin compared it favourably with the Vega Province (apparently a very high standard).
While it was still a shadow of its former glory when Salvor Hardin visited it in 80 F.E., the Kingdom was recovering.
When Anacreon resumed war with the Foundation, Salvor Hardin used this religion to shut down Anacreon, because such a war was blasphemy of the highest order.

 Review of "Bridle and Saddle"
Salvor Hardin is still mayor of Terminus, although facing a new political challenge.
Hardin also faces an external challenge from Anacreon, whose young king is about to come of age.
Hardin, however, holds all the cards: he controls the priests and the priests control the ship, which cannot in the end be used to attack Terminus.

 SFFAudio - The future never sounded so good.
It is 30 years after the first story, and it is here that the reader first encounters Salvor Hardin, a political rival of the mayor of Terminus, the name of the planet where the Foundation resides.
Hardin has discovered that the only thing he's got that surrounding systems don't have is knowledge of atomics (a knowledge that has been lost at the edge of the empire).
Hardin is long gone, and the Foundation now is home to a sub-class called Traders, who are largely independent, but still loyal to the Foundation...

 "Encyclopedia Galactica: Scientism" - a Foundation story by Johnny Pez   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Scientism is the name historians have given to the religion that arose in the Periphery of the Galaxy in the first century after the fall of the First Empire, and which was used by the early rulers of the Foundation as an instrument of control.
When Mayor Hardin learned of the unexpected turn of events on Anacreon, he decided that the technicians were right, and that there was nothing to do but go along with the Anacreonians’ beliefs.
It was Salvor Hardin in fact who established the practice of publishing regional editions of the Book of the Prophet to take account of regional variations in the various extant versions of the Epic of the Fall.

 Anacreon Province - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Salvor Hardin said it compared favourably with Vega Province, evidently a very high standard.
The only statistics known about the Kingdom of Anacreon come from Salvor Hardin's visit to the Kindom of Anacreon in 80 F.E, 30 years after its revolution.
The statistics cannot accurately describe the imperial prefect, because it is known that even after 30 years, the Kingdom was only a shadow of the Prefect, and it had lost a number of planets to the Kingdom of Smyrno.

 Encyclopedia Galactica - Terminus
Led by Salvor Hardin (12,096-12,162 GE), a psychologist who chaired the communications subcommittee, the municipal subcommittees began agitating for the Board of Trustees to allow them to establish a municipal administration independent of the Encyclopedia Committee.
The Board of Trustees proved unequal to the crisis, and Mayor Salvor Hardin was able to persuade Yohan Lee (12,092-12,159 GE), Director of Public Safety for Terminus City, to aid him in deposing the Board.

 Review of "Foundation"
The planet Terminus has been settled by the Foundation, ostensibly to prepare a giant encyclopedia to be used to preserve knowledge and science as the Galaxy around it sinks into barbarism.
The leaders of Terminus, the Encyclopedists, are interested in nothing else and so come into conflict with the mayor of Terminus City, Salvor Hardin.
Hardin is also worried about the fact that the local regions have formally broken away from the Galactic Empire and are now independent.

 Foundation by Isaac Asimov Detailed Book Review
The first book quickly turns its attention to Salvor Hardin, one of the first leaders in the early years of the Foundation.
Hardin's idea is to do nothing and his favorite phrase is "violence is the last refuge of the incompetent", and by doing little or nothing the Foundation survives, first by playing off the competing kingdoms in the area after each other, and then by using religion to control the kingdoms.
Throughout the story, a character named Hardin is pushed back and forth between the four kingdoms because they know Terminus has nuclear power.

The training in psychology which he received from Bor Alurin, though incomplete, was enough when combined with his own insights into the growing vulnerability of Terminus in the Periphery for him to become dissatisfied with the isolationist policies of the Encyclopedia Trustees at a time when the Periphery was becoming increasingly fragmented politically and economically.
After siezing power in a bloodless coup, Hardin steered the Foundation towards a measure of security through playing the interests of the neighbouring Kingdoms against one another, and enabled a smooth transition from pseudo-scientific backwater to a fully-functioning society in its own right.
