The Principality of Hailfront is a very large, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, strictly enforced bedtime, and public floggings. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 112 million Hailfrontians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.7%.

The strong Hailfrontian economy, worth 7.74 trillion Silver coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 69,126 Silver coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 216,102 per year while the poor average 16,966, a ratio of 12.7 to 1.

Glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide, producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene, only adults may purchase violent video games, and throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hailfront's national animal is the Budgie, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Hailfront is ranked 100,997^th in the world and 2,332^nd in the South Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 224.84 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
