The PS2 Puppet of Heliosphere is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, vat-grown people, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.586 billion Heliosphereans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Education, although Environment, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heliosphere City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Heliospherean economy, worth a remarkable 4,811 trillion Novas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 501,960 Novas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, the government has stated an intention to min-max its stats for 'teh pwnage', the diplomatic corps stinks, and frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security. Crime is totally unknown. Heliosphere's national animal is the Meteor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Heliosphere is ranked 193,846^th in the world and 7,097^th in the South Pacific for Most Pro-Market, scoring -88.33 on the Rand Index.
