The Free and Happy Republic of Testing Happy is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gavin GB the 4th with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, national health service, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, devout population of 6.467 billion Happyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lexington. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Happyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,010 trillion Happy Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 156,314 Happy Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cogitators and mass debaters are skiving off work to hang around the National Symposium Park, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, anti-government web sites are springing up, and the thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Testing Happy's national animal is the Zebra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Testing Happy is ranked 36,957^th in the world and 808^th in the South Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 794.94 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
