The Republic of Haltyas is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by AVA with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.928 billion Haltyasians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antorld. The average income tax rate is 79.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Haltyasian economy, worth 294 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 152,794 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, refugees from other nations are flocking to Haltyas's border, friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, and nobody is forced to join the armed forces. Crime is totally unknown. Haltyas's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Haltyas is ranked 5,066^th in the world and 145^th in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 131.07 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
