The Dictatorship of Habe is a fledgling, orderly nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical population of 6 million Habeans enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Education, with Healthcare, Defense, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The strong Habean economy, worth 293 billion blasts a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. Average income is 48,965 blasts, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 317,419 per year while the poor average 3,020, a ratio of 105 to 1.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, organ donation is compulsory, and political shows are fit for purpose. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Habe's national animal is the puffin, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Habe is ranked 57,963^rd in the world and 194^th in the Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 76 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
