“Live, Propser, Wonder”

The Commonwealth of Helertia is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.642 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Babelyia. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Helertia successfully hosted the United Kingdom of Britain Olympics, euthanasia is legal, the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, and students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Helertia's national animal is the Bluejay, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Carpatia.

Helertia is ranked 14th in the region and 52,138th in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
