The Classy Realm of Half-Milers is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Warren Douglas with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 36.438 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 17,122 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 469,895 Eleanors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Teenagers are making eye contact with each other for the first time in years, bad punctuation has come to a full stop, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, and the nation's school children are fluent in Klingon but lack basic mathematical skills. 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 332,340th in the world and 57th in Wysteria for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -76.39 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
