The Hoppy of Praeceps is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Praetor with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.781 billion Praecepsians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Praetorium. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Praecepsian economy, worth a remarkable 3,389 trillion ceps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 314,418 ceps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Praetor's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections, the military maintains a fierce arsenal of 'Cure Missiles', and future leaders of Praeceps regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Praeceps's national animal is the rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Praeceps is ranked 21,207^th in the world and 1,119^th in The North Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 78.4 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
