The Federation of Hellanian is a large, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 122 million Hellanites enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and International Aid are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Hellan economy, worth 2.39 trillion Hellan Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 19,593 Hellan Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, parking lots are littered with coffee cups and doughnut crumbs, raver DJ XStacy holds multiple medical degrees in chillaxing, and the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hellanian's national animal is the Eagle.

Hellanian is ranked 234,718^th in the world and 3,150^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 4.93 on the Hayek Index.
