The Confederacy of Corporatio Helvetica is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Landamman with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and strictly enforced bedtime. The compassionate population of 2.257 billion Swiss are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bern. The average income tax rate is 33.7%.

The powerhouse Helvetian economy, worth 217 trillion Frankens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,546 Frankens, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Out-of-work actors say they can't complain, descriptions of properties as "a stone's throw from the city centre" require a trebuchet to be true, commercial jingles are the nation's greatest export, and people who do not complete their community service are sentenced to more community service. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corporatio Helvetica's national animal is the Marmot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Corporatio Helvetica is ranked 218,870^th in the world and 434^th in Europe for Fattest Citizens, with 8.82 Obesity Rate.
