The Revolting Masses of Hedonistic Puritanism is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 23.219 billion Hedonistic Puritanismians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 80.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Hedonistic Puritanismian economy, worth 190 trillion banjoes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Retail. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 8,221 banjoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Businesses are scrambling to adapt to the government's mandate that 'time and measurement no longer exist', citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", the new hit series "Hedonistic Puritanism's Got Trauma" has corporate executives fleeing the country, and organ donation rates have hit a new low. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hedonistic Puritanism's national animal is the dodo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hedonistic Puritanism is ranked 7,329th in the world and 1st in Space Jesus for Most Stationary, with 2,728.0428026626 days.
