The Kingdom of Happilonia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Orpheus Happinson with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and daily referendums. The compassionate population of 3.286 billion Happilonians 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 Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cheerston. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Happilonian economy, worth 484 trillion happy dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 147,545 happy dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Some achieve retirement and some have retirement thrust upon them, Happilonian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Orpheus Happinson, scientists are terrified of fabulous new breakthroughs, and according to the latest national census as many as two-thirds of the respondents possibly consider 'violet' their favorite color. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Happilonia's national animal is the glogdog and its national religion is Happilism.

Happilonia is ranked 13,488^th in the world and 18^th in Aesica for Most Developed, scoring 88.89 on the Human Development Index.
