The Free and Holy Republic of The Happy Civilians is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Brilliant Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, strictly enforced bedtime, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.261 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, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. 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 14,338 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 507,345 Almighty Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,282,535 per year while the poor average 31,467, a ratio of 104 to 1.

A petition to improve Patriotic Citizen literacy is mostly signed with cross-marks, foreigners often find themselves on the wrong end of a Patriotic Citizen RPG, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, and pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit. 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 585^th in the world and 13^th in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 24,750.37 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
