The People's Commune of Helvurium is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by the Politburo with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.193 billion Helvurians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helvae. The average income tax rate is 84.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Helvurian economy, worth a remarkable 1,134 trillion Tuskmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is 93,076 Tuskmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, people are bored of easy crossword puzzles, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, and a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park. Crime is totally unknown. Helvurium's national animal is the Helvurian Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Helvurium is ranked 236,426^th in the world and 162^nd in The Social Liberal Union for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -16.61 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
