The Interstellar Empire of Firehelper is a massive, economically powerful nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.42 billion are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology industries.
The government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, organ donation is compulsory, and 'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Firehelper's national animal is the Wildlife, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Credit.
