The Confederacy of Global Helvetia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by the Federal Council of Global Helvetia with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.508 billion Global Helvetians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 81.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Global Helvetian economy, worth 184 trillion Global Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 122,348 Global Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the triumph of the Global Helvetia City Friedenstaubes against long odds, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Friedenstaube Dung" has been declared a national treasure, one does not simply walk into the tundra, and Global Helvetians refer to transgender people with insults instead of pronouns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Global Helvetia's national animal is the Friedenstaube, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Global Helvetia is ranked 234,527^th in the world and 3,797^th in The East Pacific for Most Authoritarian, with 438.46 milliStalins.
