The Classy Realm of Half-Milers is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Warren Douglas with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 36.24 billion Half-Milersians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Half-Milersian economy, worth an astonishing 16,962 trillion Eleanors a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 468,067 Eleanors, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

With increasingly clear skies nobody seems to mind the electricity bill going through the roof, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, arthritic citizens seem underrepresented at royal meet-and-greets, and towns that stop turning a profit are turned into animal sanctuaries. Crime is totally unknown. Half-Milers's national animal is the Archie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Half-Milers is ranked 316,649th in the world and 58th in Wysteria for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -49.8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
