The Anarcho-Monarchist Commune of New Halliningrad is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Eris I with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 8.389 billion Hallinins 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 Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Halliningrad. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Hallinin economy, worth a remarkable 1,511 trillion Hallinin Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 180,221 Hallinin Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Juries deliberate more than magic 8-balls, third world countries are rich in "I Love Halliningrad" t-shirts, newspaper stories fill several pages with colorful adjectives, and celestial bodies that make revolutions receive revolutions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Halliningrad's national animal is the Hallinin Tiger Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Discordianism.

New Halliningrad is ranked 6,258^th in the world and 101^st in The Communist Bloc for Most Cultured, scoring 141 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
