The Classy Realm of Half-Milers is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Warren Douglas with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, ban on automobiles, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 34.933 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 15,982 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 457,507 Eleanors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

People with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals, a performance of the hit musical "Mamma Tua" has been delayed after squatters were found sleeping in the orchestra pit, royal processions are often mistaken for pride parades, and gardeners must genetically test weeds for unique traits before digging them up. 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 128,656^th in the world and 40^th in Wysteria for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 859.09 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
