The Federation of Greater Hah Slaptings is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its triple-decker prams, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.108 billion Greater Hah Slaptingsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Federation City. The average income tax rate is 26.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Greater Hah Slaptingsian economy, worth 264 trillion dollers a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,023 dollers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, the family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year, the new Liquor Legitimacy Office is besieged with job applications from people who have experience in "statistical sampling methods", and unemployed political consultants and advertisers spend every election night weeping for the good old days. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Hah Slaptings's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Greater Hah Slaptings is ranked 24,921^st in the world and 89^th in Concord for Safest, scoring 111.31 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
