The Republic of Helping Hand is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.745 billion Helping Handians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The strong Helping Handian economy, worth 131 trillion catnips a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 47,911 catnips, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 308,794 per year while the poor average 3,003, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Helping Hand's national animal is the black cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Helping Hand is ranked 308,263^rd in the world and 422^nd in Prison for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -4.47 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
