The Commonwealth of H-py is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 10.403 billion Hapians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.5%.
The very strong Hapian economy, worth 643 trillion Omens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 61,839 Omens, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 322,391 per year while the poor average 6,391, a ratio of 50.4 to 1.
The military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces", it's rumored that Marche Noire knows what the nation's generals eat for breakfast, a major religion has been named as H-py's national religion, and the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. H-py's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
H-py is ranked 254,058th in the world and 93rd in The World Rearranged for Smartest Citizens, with 22.13 quips per hour.
