The Pink holy christmas of Hal Ghatisemagn is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Santa claus with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, rampant corporate plagiarism, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.441 billion Hal Ghatisemagnians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrasil. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Hal Ghatisemagnian economy, worth a remarkable 2,049 trillion Gold bars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 318,132 Gold bars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,934,335 per year while the poor average 3,445, a ratio of 851 to 1.

Dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', a shocking number of estate planners are beneficiaries of their clients' wills, convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes, and mollycoddled youths run the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Hal Ghatisemagn's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Athyism.

Hal Ghatisemagn is ranked 2,635^th in the world and 63^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 7,532.78 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
