The Confederacy of Global Helvetia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 267 million Global Helvetians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 35.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Global Helvetian economy, worth 16.6 trillion Global Francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,004 Global Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Much of Global Helvetia's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, and pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Global Helvetia's national animal is the Friedenstaube, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Global Helvetia is ranked 242,347^th in the world and 2,750^th in The East Pacific for Largest Populations, with 267 million capita.
