The Queendom of Pearls Happy Tap is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, enforced nudity, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, devout population of 7.419 billion Pearls Happy Tapians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 39.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Pearls Happy Tapian economy, worth 708 trillion 15 cent beers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,538 15 cent beers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, bleach is the nation's most common pesticide, almost half of the child population live rough on the streets, and it turns out that money can buy you happiness. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pearls Happy Tap's national animal is the Trout, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Pearls Happy Tap is ranked 134,199th in the world and 37th in The Bar on the corner of every region for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 39.28 Effective Tax Rate.
