“Wahda, Hurriya, Ishtirakiya!”

The Arab Worker's Republic of Hallad is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its happy-go-lucky citizens. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 12.438 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Information Technology and Book Publishing.

Recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable, government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, and the breathalyser pledge is a traditional part of marriages in Hallad. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hallad's national animal is the Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Utope.

Hallad is ranked 14th in the region and 1,087th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
