The Queendom of The Hapes Consortium is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Tenel Ka with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.194 billion Hapans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hapes. The average income tax rate is 43.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Hapan economy, worth 159 trillion doubloons a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,868 doubloons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Tenel Ka is the self-declared God of all The Hapes Consortium, crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, and everything stops come summertime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Hapes Consortium's national animal is the Battle Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Force.

The Hapes Consortium is ranked 245,074^th in the world and 7^th in Korriban Tombs for Highest Drug Use, scoring 58.5 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
