The Democratic Republic of Haley is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, unlimited-speed roads, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 12.029 billion Halesmen are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Siloam Springs. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Hales economy, worth a remarkable 1,123 trillion Halesmarks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is 93,387 Halesmarks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 501,412 per year while the poor average 9,075, a ratio of 55.2 to 1.

Toxic smog is dismissed as the populace just "letting off steam", citizens are more concerned about voting for Big Brother contestants than politicians, citizens complain about a burning sensation after bathing, and prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Haley's national animal is the hyena, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Haley is ranked 160,482nd in the world and 153rd in Jenny for Most Stationary, with 124.85055898448 days.
