The Classy Realm of Half-Milers is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its national health service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 11.042 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 has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, people are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and Big Red is one of the most popular forenames in Half-Milers. 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 8th in Wysteria and 530th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 22 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
