The Republic of Hellanor is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 700 million Hellanorian are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ethrasia. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Hellanic economy, worth 65.9 trillion Yoatras a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,195 Yoatras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Hellanic politicians, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, the letters L, G, and B must never be grouped together, and Hellanor is increasingly belligerent on the international stage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hellanor's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Hellanor is ranked 41,341^st in the world and 127^th in Carcassonne for Safest, scoring 105.16 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
