The Confederacy of Halbhalbha is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Anne R Kist with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, flagrant waste-dumping, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 7.341 billion Halbians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Halbhalbha City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Halbhalbhan economy, worth a remarkable 2,307 trillion halbs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 314,370 halbs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,785,346 per year while the poor average 27,005, a ratio of 66.1 to 1.

Beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, the government's new 'Crime Can Fight Itself' policy appears to be backfiring rather badly, and anyone who sneezes at border crossings is turned away. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Halbhalbha's national animal is the robot, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Halbhalbha is ranked 27^th in the world and 1^st in the Pacific for Rudest Citizens, with 1,301.6 Insults Per Minute.
