The Republic of Haha458 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 25.572 billion Haha458ians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haha458 City. The average income tax rate is 1.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Haha458ian economy, worth a remarkable 9,095 trillion Zennies a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 355,666 Zennies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, the only movement outdoors is of ramen-delivery drones, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", and 'Pegasusnado 6: You Gotta Be Kidding Me' is this summer's top-grossing movie. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Haha458's national animal is the Pegasus, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Haha458 is ranked 280,169^th in the world and 4,869^th in The East Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 28.28 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
