The Grand Duchy of Gurney Halleck is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.305 billion Gurney Halleckians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.4%.
The strong Gurney Halleckian economy, worth 247 trillion Musics a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 57,393 Musics, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.
