The State of Hellmann is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Josef Natura with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 3.255 billion Hellmannians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of Hellmann. The average income tax rate is 85.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hellmannian economy, worth 475 trillion hellmanniums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 146,026 hellmanniums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

"Idol-Worship for the Apathetic" workshops are cancelled when no-one bothers to show up, people often get liposuction to reduce their air fares, AI citizens are criticized for being robotic, and reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hellmann's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Hellmann is ranked 27,942nd in the world and 18th in Eurth for Highest Average Incomes, with 146,026.24 Standard Monetary Units.
