The City of Halle Saale is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales and suspicion of poets. The cynical population of 1.856 billion Halle Saaleans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 41.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Halle Saalean economy, worth 61.2 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,950 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, cities in Halle Saale declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings, politicians can't accept birthday presents from their own children, and a major religion has been named as Halle Saale's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Halle Saale's national animal is the Saxony-Anhalt, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Halle Saale is ranked 116,374^th in the world and 1^st in Saxony Anhalt for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 41.75 Effective Tax Rate.
