The State of Hellmann is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Josef Natura with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 3.13 billion Hellmannians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of Hellmann. The average income tax rate is 85.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hellmannian economy, worth 454 trillion hellmanniums 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 145,342 hellmanniums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, soldiers are equipped with multi-million hellmannium battlesuits, and space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hellmann's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Hellmann is ranked 45,278^th in the world and 15^th in Eurth for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 21,835.07 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
