The Free and Happy Republic of Testing Happy is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Gavin GB the 4th with an even hand, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, state-planned economy, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, devout population of 6.25 billion Happyians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lexington. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Happyian economy, worth 975 trillion Happy Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 156,100 Happy Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, leading ethologists are being investigated for illegal electoral interference, and orange trees find it's not easy being green. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Testing Happy's national animal is the Zebra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.
Testing Happy is ranked 81,254th in the world and 831st in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 596.50890990072 days.
