The PS2 Puppet of Heliosphere is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, humorless population of 10.277 billion Heliosphereans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded 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 5,389 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 524,398 Novas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', and foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies. Crime is totally unknown. Heliosphere's national animal is the Meteor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Heliosphere is ranked 67,440^th in the world and 2,107^th in the South Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 313 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
