The Democrat Capitalist Republic of Independent Halls is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Professor BeeOhBee with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, strictly enforced bedtime, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 4.733 billion Inditeses 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.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalakuta. The average income tax rate is 28.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Independent Hallsian economy, worth 527 trillion Indies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 111,455 Indies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, little kids often wonder why strange grown-ups are following them around the soft play areas, artists are pillars of society, and most ambassadors from Independent Halls retire only a few years after being appointed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Independent Halls's national animal is the Blue Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Independent Halls is ranked 180,456^th in the world and 7,279^th in The North Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 37.4 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
