The Beneluxian Federal Republic of True Happines is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Interim President Alex Berger with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 5.434 billion Beneluxians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beneluxian District of Priasch. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Beneluxian economy, worth 676 trillion Reichsmarks a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 124,411 Reichsmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All guns must be registered, army rations are served on silver platters, True Happines has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, and the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. True Happines's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

True Happines is ranked 6,383^rd in the world and 312^th in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 139 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
