The Armed Republic of Helmsmoth is a small, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 36 million Helmsmothians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Helmsmothian economy, worth 594 billion Fists a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 16,524 Fists, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Helmsmoth's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Helmsmoth is ranked 248,014th in the world and 2,807th in the Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 8.98 average smiles per day.
