The Community of Hialan is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, enslaved workforce, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.214 billion Hialanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kachmaran. The average income tax rate is 91.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Hialanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,802 trillion Haeralsurus a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 120,744 Haeralsurus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, loan operators are losing interest due to lost interest, children are strong-armed by police into eating their greens, and criminals tell the police where their jurisdiction ends. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hialan's national animal is the blue crab, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Violetism.

Hialan is ranked 331,110^th in the world and 10^th in Enowiden for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -23.12 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
