Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Colony of Haylusch is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 13.7 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although the Environment and Healthcare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 72%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, the military frequently holds bake sales to raise funds, the nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned, and schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Haylusch's national animal is the calico collie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the joemad.

Haylusch is ranked 5th in Eutopia and 97,631st in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
