The Republic of Haalad is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 50 million Haaladians 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 relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Welfare, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 9.4%.

The strong Haaladian economy, worth 3.16 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Retail. Average income is 63,108 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

A well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions, and all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras. Crime is relatively low. Haalad's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Haalad is ranked 278,013^th in the world and 417^th in The League for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -12.25 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
