The Community of Halvyr is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 366 million Halvyrians 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 Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ardwyn. The average income tax rate is 24.3%.

The thriving Halvyrian economy, worth 25.4 trillion Crests a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,358 Crests, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Traumatised refugees have a full bedpan shoved into their hands along with their immigration papers, children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, the media seems excessively interested in what Leader is wearing this season, and children have taken to using semaphore in light of the recent mobile phone ban. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Halvyr's national animal is the Mountain Ibex, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Halvyr is ranked 9,912^th in the world and 4^th in Caer Sidi for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 7,151.35 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
