The Imperial Hegemony of Helric is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Tennō Akira-Taishō II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.962 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, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyotokyo. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Helricianese economy, worth a remarkable 4,005 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 223,005 Yyns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The WhoTube comments section has gone strangely quiet, pitchforks and torches are coming back into fashion, police conduct weekly raids looking for contraband cheeseburgers, and broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business. 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 85,593^rd in the world and 54^th in Aceon for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,520.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
