The State of Hellerius is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 22.029 billion Helleriusians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Helleriusian economy, worth 108 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 4,931 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, deer are considered a delicacy, and Hellerius has designated District City as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hellerius's national animal is the deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hellerius is ranked 80,330^th in the world and 1^st in St Helier for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.17 law-abiding acts per hour.
