The Classy Realm of Half-Milers is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Warren Douglas with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, complete lack of prisons, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 36.58 billion Half-Milersians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Half-Milersian economy, worth an astonishing 17,238 trillion Eleanors a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 471,255 Eleanors, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Half-Milers's radio stations, and Alexandria's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight. Crime is totally unknown. Half-Milers's national animal is the Archie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Half-Milers is ranked 40th in the world and 1st in Wysteria for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 114.49 Effective Tax Rate.
