The Federation of Hellenic City States and Kingdoms is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 681 million Hellens are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athina. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The very strong Hellenic economy, worth 50.0 trillion drachmas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 73,466 drachmas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 258,509 per year while the poor average 15,122, a ratio of 17.1 to 1.

Businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, in government offices a hidden killer takes the lives of ministers and civil servants, and no personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Hellenic City States and Kingdoms's national animal is the dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hellenic City States and Kingdoms is ranked 37,657^th in the world and 2,134^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 76 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
