The Empire of Helvaemar is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Kevelover with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.207 billion Helvaemarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Markorom. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Helvaemarian economy, worth 507 trillion Vellis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 158,366 Vellis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has nearly as many history museums as Helvaemarians, businesses that prove successful are immediately broken up, five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, and the well-to-do in Lazarus are never on time for important appointments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Helvaemar's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Helvaemar is ranked 11,555th in the world and 702nd in Lazarus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,950.74 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
