The Federation of Hellbore is a huge, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning beaver population. The hard-working population of 840 million Hellboreans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 16.9%.

The Hellborean economy, worth 38.5 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. Average income is 45,824 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hellbore's national animal is the beaver.

Hellbore is ranked 203,147^th in the world and 1^st in a033a for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 294.2 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
