The Republic of Haha458 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 27.005 billion Haha458ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haha458 City. The average income tax rate is 4.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Haha458ian economy, worth a remarkable 9,602 trillion Zennies a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 355,576 Zennies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Stores employing more than 100 employees are required to be at least twenty miles from any competitor, babies are a small but significant export, jails have become colloquially known as 'vampire houses', and black market eau de toilette is made in bathroom labs across the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Haha458's national animal is the Pegasus, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Haha458 is ranked 31,970th in the world and 551st in The East Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 4,101.39 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
