The Anarcho-Monarchist Commune of New Halliningrad is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Eris with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.849 billion Halliningradians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of East Halliningrad. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Halliningradian economy, worth 809 trillion Hallinin Francs 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 166,927 Hallinin Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In distant lands the nation is known as a lovely place that was even better in the good old days, the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, and court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Halliningrad's national animal is the Hallinin River Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Discordianism.

New Halliningrad is ranked 7,953^rd in the world and 137^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Cultured, scoring 130 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
