The Federation of Haparide is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by First Secretary with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.234 billion Haparideans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Union's Passing. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Haparidean economy, worth 509 trillion rosins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 157,670 rosins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, and the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Haparide's national animal is the possum, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Haparide is ranked 7,475th in the world and 38th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,885.19 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
