The Socialist Pessimists of Hellawi is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Comrade BluzMynki with an even hand, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, anti-smoking policies, and public floggings. The compassionate population of 29.34 billion Hellawi are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wherda. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hellawi economy, worth a remarkable 4,641 trillion Mynkis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 158,192 Mynkis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wherda University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, many suspect that the 'Whinny The Plop' children's magazine contains covert criticism of Comrade BluzMynki, and foreigners often find themselves on the wrong end of a Hellawi RPG. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hellawi's national animal is the Aardvark, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pastafarianism.

Hellawi is ranked 331,593^rd in the world and 51^st in Hippy Haven for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -35.4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
