The Crazy Nation of Haln is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Boris Handar with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 24.598 billion Halnians 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bathan. The average income tax rate is 64.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Halnian economy, worth 414 trillion Sabs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 16,860 Sabs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, research into 'designer babies' is banned, those found guilty of illicit affairs are jailed, and strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Haln's national animal is the frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Haln is ranked 4,903rd in the world and 102nd in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 3,267.706242 days.
