The Socialist Pessimists of Hellawi is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Comrade BluzMynki with an iron fist, and notable for its daily referendums, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 29.293 billion Hellawi 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wherda. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hellawi economy, worth a remarkable 4,630 trillion Mynkis 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 158,076 Mynkis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Comrade BluzMynki has been known to make speeches in fishing waders, SOS from foreign ships mean "shoot on sight", popular sunny beaches always have a cloudy outlook, and the national anthem is a rather effective sleeping aid. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hellawi's national animal is the Aardvark, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pastafarianism.

Hellawi is ranked 1,344^th in the world and 2^nd in Hippy Haven for Most Cultured, scoring 321 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
