The Republic of Greater Halstatt is a mid-sized, cultured nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The devout population of 50 million Greater Halstattians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Spirituality, although Defense, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 35.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Greater Halstattian economy, worth 1.83 trillion guilders a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,673 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and adultery has been made a capital offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Greater Halstatt's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Greater Halstatt is ranked 253,506^th in the world and 6^th in Ixnay Farm System for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -5.19 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
