The Dominion of Hapilopper is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by William Mathis with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 10.751 billion Hapiloppians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hapilopper City. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hapiloppian economy, worth a remarkable 2,281 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 212,204 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time, executions are marked by quiet dignity and maybe a final round or two of whist, the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, and male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed. Crime is totally unknown. Hapilopper's national animal is the long-tailed thrasher, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hapilopper is ranked 8,369^th in the world and 4^th in Esportiva for Lowest Crime Rates, with 104.59 law-abiding acts per hour.
