The Republic of Haelunor is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Nicolas Thoraval with a fair hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.789 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Defence and Commerce are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Malo. The average income tax rate is 71%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Tourism, and Gambling industries.

The government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, highschool principals regularly send armed truancy patrols to drag problem students to school, Robins are frequently shot for looking at people 'in a funny way', and the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Haelunor's national animal is the Robin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Mina.

Haelunor is ranked 128th in Texas and 101,730th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 11 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
