The Hexacratic Technarchy of Helaw is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sovereign Moomers with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, vat-grown people, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, humorless population of 12.892 billion Helawans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Venea. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Helawan economy, worth a remarkable 2,231 trillion Helons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 173,122 Helons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, therapists can always squeeze in another house-call, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, and disposable antiseptic wipes are considered a social necessity. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Helaw's national animal is the Hootle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Helaw is ranked 4,361^st in the world and 1^st in Atlanticana for Lowest Crime Rates, with 119.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
