The Democratic People's Republic of Habanan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Sparax Epolonius with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.043 billion Habananians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kazumri. The average income tax rate is 83.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Habananian economy, worth 262 trillion Haban 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 128,378 Haban dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Research grant proposals read like political diatribes, the newly revamped army is so eager for action that it has trouble keeping the peace, major cities are suffering under water rationing, and the nation has nearly as many history museums as Habananians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Habanan's national animal is the Habanan Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lord Sparax Epolonius.

Habanan is ranked 100,343^rd in the world and 5,041^st in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 30.22 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
