The United States of Independent Halls is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Professor BeeOhBee with an even hand, and notable for its digital currency, smutty television, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 11.621 billion Inditeses have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalakuta. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Independent Hallsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,578 trillion Indies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 135,839 Indies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Claims adjusters are uselessly vague, talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses, East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', and park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Independent Halls's national animal is the Blue Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Independent Halls is ranked 40,806^th in the world and 910^th in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 52.61 kickbacks per hour.
