The Red United Socialist States of North Helorgeroestarda is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 702 million Helorgeroestardians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 78.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Helorgeroestardian economy, worth 20.8 trillion Dollars 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 Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 29,630 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, praying before a battle is a court-martial offence, the Fashion Channel can only be viewed on widescreen TVs, and professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Helorgeroestarda's national animal is the Manta Ray, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

North Helorgeroestarda is ranked 170,807^th in the world and 6^th in Midwest Middle McCorn Coalition for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,206.88 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
