The Socialist Pessimists of Hellawi is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Comrade BluzMynki with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, ban on automobiles, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate population of 29.33 billion Hellawi are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wherda. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hellawi economy, worth a remarkable 4,634 trillion Mynkis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 158,025 Mynkis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations, almost half of the child population live rough on the streets, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and brave curators do battle with disorganised government libraries. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hellawi's national animal is the Aardvark, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pastafarianism.

Hellawi is ranked 20,651^st in the world and 7^th in Hippy Haven for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 304.04 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
