The Democratic Republic of Hallipur is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.344 billion Hallipurians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nalica. The average income tax rate is 81.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Hallipurian economy, worth 205 trillion nells a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Retail and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 61,489 nells, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of Leader, the "daily grind" consists of levelling up in tedious video games, military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, and national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hallipur's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hallipur is ranked 25,382^nd in the world and 1,456^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 111.2 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
