The Contested Territory of Halfordia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, smutty television, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 24.885 billion Halfordians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals is solely concerned with Defense. Income tax is unheard of.
The enormous but inefficient Halfordian economy, worth a remarkable 1,035 trillion metals a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is 41,601 metals, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 267,094 per year while the poor average 2,635, a ratio of 101 to 1.
Epileptic patients switch their medications to whichever has a 'buy one get one free' offer, the annual Adult Film Awards have a category for most titillating aftershave advert, signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés, and Leader sports gold-plated grillz to promote the government's hard money policy. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Halfordia's national animal is the metal warrior, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Halfordia is ranked 4,738th in the world and 13th in Union of Free Nations for Most Stationary, with 3,312.66454656 days.
