The Pink Holy Christmas of Hallownes is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, daily referendums, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.874 billion Moths are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The average income tax rate is 72.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Moth economy, worth 471 trillion Gold Bars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,663 Gold Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation, outdoor parties in Yggdrassil are all the rave, politicians have literally dirty hands from their extracurricular activities, and many politicians are in rehab for minor drug offenses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hallownes's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Athyism.

Hallownes is ranked 232,872nd in the world and 277th in Christians for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.96 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
