The Queendom of Helena is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning dolphin population. The democratic population of 3.67 billion Helenans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 20.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Helenan economy, worth 142 trillion yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,791 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, and citizens select which government department gets their income tax yen each year. Crime is almost non-existent. Helena's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Helena is ranked 133,906th in the world and 3,401st in Ambition for Largest Populations, with 3.67 billion capita.
