The Grand Duchy of Heletenburg is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leopold I with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 4.593 billion Heletens have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thanenbourg. The average income tax rate is 20.6%.

The Heleten economy, worth 199 trillion Ginovis a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,363 Ginovis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

The blood, sweat, and tears of poor Heletens make research institutes rich, the holiest shrine in Christianity is on another world, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, and space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heletenburg's national animal is the The Italian Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Heletenburg is ranked 204,359^th in the world and 7,749^th in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -1.77 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
