The Jedi Ranger Alliance of Mount Helena is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Ranger Kendor Nishio with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, strictly enforced bedtime, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 12.521 billion Mount Helenans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Industry, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Social Policy is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corellia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Mount Helenan economy, worth a remarkable 3,239 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 258,750 Credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,334,991 per year while the poor average 27,319, a ratio of 48.9 to 1.

Farmers have taken to hunting billionaires who encroach on their land, directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use Corellia as a backdrop, shouting contests are an important part of government job interviews, and vacationing Mount Helenans expect to be treated as royalty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Mount Helena's national animal is the Bantha, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Jedi Order.

Mount Helena is ranked 36,350th in the world and 2,063rd in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 76 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
