The People's Community of Helvurium is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Central Committee with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 17.838 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helvae. The average income tax rate is 89.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Helvurian economy, worth a remarkable 1,764 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 and Book Publishing. Average income is 98,904 Tuskmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stuttering trypanophobes are doomed never to marry, the nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands, gossip magazines have pictures of the Central Committee sunbathing on the beach with political rivals, and earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss. 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 38,108^th in the world and 57^th in The Social Liberal Union for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.29 law-abiding acts per hour.
