The Admirality of Heliseum is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Magnus with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.711 billion Helizis are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pantheon. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Heliseun economy, worth 769 trillion dickeys a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 114,652 dickeys, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights, military training in Heliseum emphasizes the tactical advantages of stabbing backs, workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings, and cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heliseum's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Pieism.

Heliseum is ranked 13,684^th in the world and 411^th in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 26.36 average smiles per day.
