The Dominion of Superfluid Helium is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Mr Krabs with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, infamous sell-swords, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 31.801 billion Superfluid Heliumians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sigil. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Superfluid Heliumian economy, worth a remarkable 7,225 trillion magnetic monopoles a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 227,215 magnetic monopoles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
Hymns sung by popular choirs top the billboard charts, five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, and Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. Crime is all-pervasive, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Superfluid Helium's national animal is the alaskan bull worm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Ace Rimmer.
Superfluid Helium is ranked 345,751st in the world and 1st in Kepler 442b for Smartest Citizens, with 0.17 quips per hour.
