The Federal Republic of Hilabilabil is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Santa with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.036 billion Hilabilabilians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quora. The average income tax rate is 16.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Hilabilabilian economy, worth 159 trillion Thebits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 52,651 Thebits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers, in coastal waters there are fifteen salvage divers per dead man's chest (yo ho ho), and anniversaries of major historical events pass unnoticed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hilabilabil's national animal is the humming bird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Hilabilabil is ranked 207,334^th in the world and 6,996^th in Lazarus for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 49.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
