The Community of Hialan is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its national health service, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.281 billion Hialanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kachmaran. The average income tax rate is 88.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hialanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,304 trillion Haeralsurus a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 119,495 Haeralsurus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population, a breakdown in Westphalian sovereignty has left political scientists dazed and confused, an increasing number of knights in shining armor suffer from PTSD, and life is short but human kindness is endless. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hialan's national animal is the blue crab, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Violetism.

Hialan is ranked 37,532nd in the world and 9th in Enowiden for Most Patriotic, with 38.26 flags saluted per person per day.
