The Dominion of Halloweenville is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.456 billion Halloweenvilleans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The very strong Halloweenvillean economy, worth 198 trillion treats a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 57,533 treats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 210,327 per year while the poor average 11,163, a ratio of 18.8 to 1.

Legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, military spending recently hit a new high, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and Halloweenville's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Halloweenville's national animal is the Bat, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Halloweenville is ranked 248,337th in the world and 10,469th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring zero on the Gilded Widget Scale.
