The Federal republic of The republic of halizin is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Philippe Satsuma with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 7.108 billion Halicn hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Marseille. The average income tax rate is 24.4%.

The all-consuming Halic economy, worth 687 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,739 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, families must live in a village for a century before they get any say in how it runs, estate agents justify funky smells by revealing how often the previous owners showered, and East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy'. Crime is totally unknown. The republic of halizin's national animal is the fox and its national religion is Taoist-Catholicism.

The republic of halizin is ranked 177,549^th in the world and 447^th in 10000 Islands for Most Patriotic, with 9.74 flags saluted per person per day.
