The Republic of Helia III is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Hevali Olaze with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.942 billion Helians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Velasa. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.2%.

The strong Helian economy, worth 185 trillion Genzaloes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 62,889 Genzaloes, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Children's bedrooms are often decorated with posters of successful accountants, Helians visiting rural Southern Dog Village can get their driving records clean for a small fee, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, and crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Helia III's national animal is the Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Helia III is ranked 5,706^th in the world and 1^st in Moonveil for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,451.36 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
