The Confederacy of Helvestria is a small, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 40 million Helvestrians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 21.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Helvestrian economy, worth 2.53 trillion gold bars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 63,277 gold bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
Accusations of corruption stick when the accused are long-gone, deceased politicians spam the public with thousands of AI-generated voicemails, rich people sell their mansions to pay for endless rows of mobile homes, and at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Leader's wardrobe. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Helvestria's national animal is the woolly mammoth, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Helvestria is ranked 20,758th in the world and 1st in Heidiland for Safest, scoring 113.46 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
