The Imperial Hegemony of Helric is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Tennō Akira-Taishō II with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, frequent executions, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.978 billion Helricianese 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyotokyo. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Helricianese economy, worth a remarkable 4,029 trillion Yyns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 224,136 Yyns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The mentally ill are given high powered automatic weapons for "catharsis therapy", starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, and popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Helric's national animal is the Green Pheasant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Amaranthism.

Helric is ranked 8,518^th in the world and 4^th in Aceon for Highest Average Incomes, with 224,136.54 Standard Monetary Units.
