The Golden Dawn Showers of Hellene is a titanic, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 18.084 billion Helleneans are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Hellenean economy, worth 208 trillion Antiquities 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. 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 11,529 Antiquities, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, and the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hellene's national animal is the Stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hellene is ranked 83,516th in the world and 7th in Greece for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 380.95 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
