The Commonwealth of Halace is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 73 million Halaceans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 48.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Halacean economy, worth 2.47 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,824 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's a marvellous night for a moon dance as the sparks on your home start to rise, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, immigrants complain that natives keep coming over and taking their jobs, and earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Halace's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Halace is ranked 247,682^nd in the world and 703^rd in Concord for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 17,487.07 Standard Monetary Units.
