The Eternal Misfortune of Heliosphere is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 18.968 billion Heliospherans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heliosphere City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Heliospheran economy, worth an astonishing 14,537 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 a breathtaking 766,442 Novas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

First-time moms are expected to be experienced parents from day one, citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, and a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Heliosphere's national animal is the Meteor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Heliosphere is ranked 306,541^st in the world and 33^rd in Pencil Sharpeners Puppet Storage for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring -5.48 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
