The Republic of Hapaceopia is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 114 million Hapaceopians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 9.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Hapaceopian economy, worth 5.85 trillion Leaves a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,279 Leaves, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Same-sex marriages are increasingly common, Hapaceopia's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, and reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians. Crime is relatively low. Hapaceopia's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hapaceopia is ranked 246,300^th in the world and 5,588^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 63 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
