The Confederacy of Helvetiare is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.259 billion Helvetiareans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 22.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Helvetiarean economy, worth 122 trillion Krötens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 97,402 Krötens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Government officials across Helvetiare are being "encouraged" to adopt Butterflies to set an example for the populace, a new "thought police" branch is being developed, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, and badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Helvetiare's national animal is the Butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Helvetiare is ranked 200,077^th in the world and 44^th in Colonia Apollonis for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring zero on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
