The Free and Holy Republic of The Happy Civilians is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Brilliant Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.768 billion Patriotic Citizens are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Joyous City of Freedom. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Patriotic Citizen economy, worth an astonishing 15,042 trillion Almighty Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is a breathtaking 505,323 Almighty Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,850,360 per year while the poor average 18,268, a ratio of 210 to 1.

Economics is a shrinking field, the nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, governments opposing The Happy Civilians are beset by rebels, and many of the poor live from cradle to grave without ever seeing sunlight. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Happy Civilians's national animal is the Super Amazing Brave Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Happy Civilians is ranked 334,839^th in the world and 5,018^th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring -62.69 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
