The Helizi Puppet of Henesys is a mammoth, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 5.031 billion Henesysians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 59.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Henesysian economy, worth 184 trillion forks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Gambling. Average income is 36,622 forks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Frightened witnesses and seriously ill jurors wear the same handcuffs as the defendant, dubiously qualified East Lebatuckese doctors prescribe ice baths as a treatment for pneumonia, Leader's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards, and passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Henesys's national animal is the Militarized Penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Henesys is ranked 84,196th in the world and 7th in Coalition of Radiant Atlantic Lobsters for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 113.99 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
