The Grand Duchy of Harpiatopia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Grand Duchess Papi Páez V with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 10.905 billion Harpiatopians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harpylia. The average income tax rate is 77.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Harpiatopian economy, worth 964 trillion Ducal Reais a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,413 Ducal Reais, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All music has been banned, the nation has been sent to bed early for unspecified naughtiness, police are trained in using their steel-capped boots as a tool of law enforcement, and nuclear submarines have been deployed to protect the nation's banana supply. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Harpiatopia's national animal is the Chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Catholic Church.

Harpiatopia is ranked 175,041st in the world and 2,394th in The East Pacific for Most Stationary, with 89.73811617868 days.
