The United Monarchal Provinces of South Poopistan is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by King Grey III with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.706 billion Halans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiporile. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Halan economy, worth 678 trillion Tiporilise Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 88,039 Tiporilise Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, the nation sends criminals home to think about what they did, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Poopistan's national animal is the Northern Tiporile Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

South Poopistan is ranked 57,089^th in the world and 40^th in Ridgefield for Lowest Crime Rates, with 74.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
