The Kingdom of Habibilon is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by John Connor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.192 billion Habibilonians 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 prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiddy Town. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Habibilonian economy, worth 666 trillion guilders a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 208,943 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Napalm is the tool of choice for disabling eco-unfriendly forestry operations, war vets look after war animals, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, and cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Habibilon's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Children of God.

Habibilon is ranked 317,178th in the world and 25th in The Axis of Evil for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.04 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
