The People's Republic of Upper-Heleen is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 4.023 billion Upper-Heleenians 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 tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The very strong Upper-Heleenian economy, worth 178 trillion pesos a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is 44,281 pesos, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 183,716 per year while the poor average 6,994, a ratio of 26.3 to 1.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, genetic researchers have been expelled, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and the police have nothing to do with the increasing number of 'disappeared'. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Upper-Heleen's national animal is the dove.

Upper-Heleen is ranked 60,642nd in the world and 3rd in The International Board of Nations for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,520.33 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
