The Republic of Helping Hand is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.644 billion Helping Handians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The strong Helping Handian economy, worth 126 trillion catnips a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 47,911 catnips, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 308,794 per year while the poor average 3,003, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Helping Hand's national animal is the black cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Helping Hand is ranked 265,631^st in the world and 570^th in Prison for Most Developed, scoring 51.05 on the Human Development Index.
