The People's Soviet Republic of New Halliningrad is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Eris with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, vat-grown people, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate population of 3.312 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 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Halliningradian economy, worth 514 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 and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 155,473 Hallinin Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sharing vacation pictures requires written consent from the entire beach resort, photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Eris's bedroom, internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens, and evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 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 7,358^th in the world and 182^nd in The Communist Bloc for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,900.66 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
