The PS2 Puppet of Heliosphere is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, digital currency, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.825 billion Heliosphereans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Education, with Environment, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heliosphere City. The average income tax rate is 99.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Heliospherean economy, worth a remarkable 4,147 trillion Novas 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology and Cheese 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 an amazing 469,989 Novas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hipster cyclists declare that "metal is dead", consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, and grannies with arthritic hands work miserably on factory production lines. Crime is totally unknown. Heliosphere's national animal is the Meteor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Heliosphere is ranked 2^nd in the world and 1^st in This Game for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 251,221.34 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
