The Imperial State of Halikazia is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-working, cynical population of 762 million Halikazians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wyrstaedt On Ceeyver. The average income tax rate is 37.3%.
The strong Halikazian economy, worth 45.0 trillion Halikazian Waiermaarks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 59,066 Halikazian Waiermaarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
Nothing gets the party jumping like Leader specifying how high, professional athletes juggle part-time jobs to avoid bankruptcy, teens are voting on which C-List pop star will be next to be evicted from the opera house, and the tomato-covered corpses that decorate the nation's cities are a favourite amongst morbid tourists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Halikazia's national animal is the Lischian Eagle.
Halikazia is ranked 222,005th in the world and 133rd in Kantrias for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 85.43 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
