The Classy Realm of Half-Milers is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 8.238 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.

National parks have long lines of different gender-specific 'Porta-Pottys', elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, and students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas. 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 145th in Wysteria and 88,142nd in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -59 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
