The Republic of Hellanor is a huge, safe nation, notable for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 682 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 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Hellanic economy, worth 64.5 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 94,567 Yoatras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police use sound cannons and mortars to deal with loud parties, scientists spend more time enduring government inspections than they do on actual science, major internet servers have acquired citizenship, and environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests. 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 47,001^st in the world and 145^th in Carcassonne for Safest, scoring 103.64 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
