The Rocking Chair of Hallowed Ground is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Halogen with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, compulsory military service, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 25.847 billion Hallowed Groundsmens 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nick Hades. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hallowed Groundian economy, worth a remarkable 5,596 trillion Tomb Brains a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 216,534 Tomb Brains, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Missionaries learn the hard way that their piercing spiritual insights are no match for arrows, emergency responders spend more time in the air than giving air, minor code style errors dull the house edge, and gift hampers filled with delicious beef jerky are sent to newly communist nations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hallowed Ground's national animal is the Skeleton, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Burialism.

Hallowed Ground is ranked 264,574^th in the world and 8^th in The Beech Beach House for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
