The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.318 billion Helvuriumians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

| - The Republic of Helvurium is a massive, genial nation, ruled by President Ulrik August with a fair hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.318 billion Helvuriumians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion. The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vleka. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.9%. The frighteningly efficient Helvuriumian economy, worth 118 trillion Diraks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 89,971 Diraks, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest. New safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Helvurium to be bombproof, the Helvurium Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', Eagle is one of the most popular forenames in Helvurium, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Helvurium's radio stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Helvurium's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities. Helvurium is ranked 3rd in The Exalted Realm and 109,504th in the world for Most Authoritarian, with 0.003 Stalins.
