The Confederacy of Global Helvetia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 274 million Global Helvetians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 42.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Global Helvetian economy, worth 16.1 trillion Global Francs a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,594 Global Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, Global Helvetian diplomacy is by the book, business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters, and robosexual marriages are increasingly common. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Global Helvetia's national animal is the Friedenstaube, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Global Helvetia is ranked 46,174^th in the world and 1,032^nd in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 103.91 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
