The Meisho Doto of Hal Ghatisemagn is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Meisho Doto with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, pith helmet sales, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.289 billion Hal Ghatisemagnians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Main Office and Headquarters. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Hal Ghatisemagnian economy, worth a remarkable 1,961 trillion Hal Ghatisemagn Pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 311,945 Hal Ghatisemagn Pounds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,877,711 per year while the poor average 3,372, a ratio of 853 to 1.

Achieving blood purity involves a surprising amount of bloodshed, crime is on the rise as online youths compete to vlog the most shocking scenes of violence, the standard government reply to any query is "there is no spoon", and mandatory state-funded classes teach Libertarianism. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Hal Ghatisemagn's national animal is the Evil Black Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Shrine of Money.

Hal Ghatisemagn is ranked 229th in the world and 7th in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 93.39 Obesity Rate.
