The Democratic Socialist of Happiville is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Council of the Idiots with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate population of 3.663 billion Gays are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goofball One. The average income tax rate is 88.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Gay economy, worth 332 trillion Joys a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,821 Joys, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Happiville's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Public Library of Infinite Knowledge.

Happiville is ranked 227,880th in the world and 219th in Conch Kingdom for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -5.48 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
