The United States of Independent Halls is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Professor BeeOhBee with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 11.523 billion Inditeses have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalakuta. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Independent Hallsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,555 trillion Indies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,999 Indies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, and the possibility of gain causes universal pain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Independent Halls's national animal is the Blue Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Independent Halls is ranked 13,385^th in the world and 557^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 96.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
