The Empire of Helventair is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 504 million Helventairians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. The average income tax rate is 38.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Helventairian economy, worth 36.5 trillion Venairs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 72,336 Venairs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Toxic smog is dismissed as the populace just "letting off steam", angst-filled teenagers are rushing off to buy government bonds for some odd reason, citizens who leave the country are officially classed as traitors, and all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Helventair's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Helventair is ranked 208,133^rd in the world and 4,944^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring zero on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
