The Classy Realm of Half-Milers is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Warren Douglas with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 34.89 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 15,965 trillion Eleanors a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 457,583 Eleanors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Oil executives can be seen reluctantly cleaning oil-soaked birds, Warren Douglas's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, Half-Milersian diplomacy is by the book, and people with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals. 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 2nd in the world and 1st in Wysteria for Most Cultured, scoring 2,045 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
