The Kingdom of Habibilon is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by John Connor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, triple-decker prams, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.175 billion Habibilonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiddy Town. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Habibilonian economy, worth 658 trillion guilders a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 207,335 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a bright dawn ahead for Habibilon, the navy plans patrols according to how many pubs nearby ports have, politicians frequently make unusual poses during speeches in hopes of inspiring the next internet fad, and politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Habibilon's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Children of God.

Habibilon is ranked 4,438^th in the world and 9^th in The Axis of Evil for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 61,619.84 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
