The Grand Republic of Heletica is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Marcus Valeria with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, otherworldly petting zoo, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.986 billion Heleticans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iriesa. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Heletican economy, worth 258 trillion Heleses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,091 Heleses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, it's a long jump to get onto the housing ladder, life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average, and President Marcus Valeria reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heletica's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Heletica is ranked 13,991^st in the world and 235^th in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 366.58 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
