The Republic of Halavan is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 219 million Halavanians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.
The thriving Halavanian economy, worth 21.7 trillion marks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 99,110 marks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 584,700 per year while the poor average 7,790, a ratio of 75.1 to 1.
The fire protection service is wholly government-funded, the government has little issue with allowing its citizens to languish in foreign jails, five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, and people talk about things being better when men were men. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Halavan's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Halavan is ranked 308,322nd in the world and 87th in Right to Life for Nicest Citizens, with 0.85 average smiles per day.
