The Fallen Empire of Zaberaz Hapang is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Aless III with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, aversion to nipples, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 8.335 billion Hapangians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Campton. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Hapangian economy, worth a remarkable 3,107 trillion Galactic Shenes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 372,815 Galactic Shenes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,464,268 per year while the poor average 64,505, a ratio of 22.7 to 1.

Not showing enough enthusiasm for mutual assured destruction is a court-martial offence, the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary, and the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zaberaz Hapang's national animal is the Black Beak Penguin and its national religion is Capitalism.

Zaberaz Hapang is ranked 5,289^th in the world and 44^th in 10000 Islands for Most Corrupt Governments, with 219.16 kickbacks per hour.
