The Classy Realm of Half-Milers is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 8.867 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

The government is giving peace a chance, voting is voluntary, mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime is totally unknown. Half-Milers's national animal is the Big Red, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the buge hoobs.

Half-Milers is ranked 200th in Wysteria and 100,493rd in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -9 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
