The Republic of Hallom is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 225 million Hallomites are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 34.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Hallomitian economy, worth 6.12 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,220 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, and politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hallom's national animal is the blue jay.

Hallom is ranked 308,716^th in the world and 13^th in Nomenstatia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -8.42 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
