The State of Helghan Killzone

“No Man's Land”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The State of Helghan Killzone is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 22.01 billion Helghan Killzoneans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, although Industry and Defense are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.5%.

The powerhouse Helghan Killzonean economy, worth 767 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 34,860 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 123,395 per year while the poor average 7,110, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Elections have been outlawed, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and Helghan Killzone has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem. Helghan Killzone's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Helghan Killzone is ranked 240,521^st in the world and 8^th in Saint Georges for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -12.25 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
