The Republic of Heleus Fre is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.784 billion Heleus Freans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.7%.

The powerhouse Heleus Frean economy, worth 154 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 86,561 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 338,654 per year while the poor average 15,072, a ratio of 22.5 to 1.

A ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, and male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heleus Fre's national animal is the aplix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Heleus Fre is ranked 263,792^nd in the world and 1,061^st in Concord for Least Corrupt Governments, with 90.97 percentage of bribes refused.
