The Socialist Federation of Hallad is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 1.439 billion are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be isolated from the liberal society.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.
Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hallad's national animal is the Hawk, which thrives in the desert enviorment, and its currency is the SUMU and the Utope.
The Socialist Federation started off as a small, economically weak Socialist Democracy with few allies. The United Socialist States of Hallad started with few allies and an unstable balance between the Socialist Party of Hallad (now The True Directorate) and the spiteful Fascist Party of Hallad. After loosing the second annual elections in Hallad, the Fasicst Party, called for all Fascists to revolt. This lead to a seven (7) month civil war, eventually the government's forces prevailed.
Soon after this, Hallad joined the First Communist International (the FCI). The Federation is now one of the leading members of that alliance. Commissar John MacDonald of the Commissariat of Diplomacy is now the Commissar of Diplomacy for the FCI. Recently, the Federation has joined the UnAPS, or United Alliance of Progressive States. From that alliance, Hallad has also joined the Union of Socialist Republics, which includes the nations of The Island States, Hattia, Edolia, and Jondera.
