The Classy Realm of Half-Milers is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its hatred of cheese. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.087 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, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and the Environment. 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.
People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, and all recreational drugs are legal. 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 223rd in the region and 54,895th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
