The Empire of Hellas Restored is a tiny, genial nation, renowned for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The quiet, industrious population of 18 million Hellas Restoredians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 26.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Hellas Restoredian economy, worth 703 billion Drachmas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,060 Drachmas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Bouncers at the door of the sweet shop warn five-year-olds not to cause trouble, cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, stocks go up when the internet says so, and gossip magazines have pictures of Leader sunbathing on the beach with political rivals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hellas Restored's national animal is the Hydra.

Hellas Restored is ranked 316,311^th in the world and 112^th in Estalcia for Largest Populations, with 18.0 million capita.
