The Helium of He is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, unlimited-speed roads, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 22.945 billion Heans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Hean economy, worth a remarkable 3,617 trillion Golds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an impressive 157,671 Golds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,456,939 per year while the poor average 1,673, a ratio of 870 to 1.

The government is outsourcing itself, residents of newly dried out bays live in fear of leaky dikes, drowning sailors are hung out to dry, and children's toy tractors have been seized as state property. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. He's national animal is the Elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

He is ranked 2,938^th in the world and 201^st in Lazarus for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 156,410.27 Standard Monetary Units.
