The Allied States of Helvetic Confederation is a nation deeply rooted in traditional values and is a nation devoted to remaining on the cutting edge. Formed in AD 1291, the Helvetic Confederation has a strong history of Republic and democratic constitutionalism. The Helvetic Confederation walks a fine line of neutrality in international affairs, but holds to fundamental policies irrespective of possible loss of temporary diplomatic influence. The Helvetic nation is a diverse melting pot of nationalities from all over Europe and all over the world. Helvetians are strongly individualistic and are willing to fight against any forms of tyranny that might wish to undermine their rights. Helvetians balance science and faith, most believing in both. Most of the major religions of the world are represented in the Helvetic Confederation.

It lies on the Western coast and is north of Christianan, south of Arendaal, and west of Adelyne. The northern quarter of the nation is heavily forested. The center is mostly flat grasslands. The south is an arid desert. On the eastern border are the Helvetic Alps, a range with peaks that reach 19,000 feet. The western coast is a rugged and mountainous area for the most part, resembling the Pacific coast of the United States of America. The highest point in the Helvetic Confederation is Greenbriar Mountain (19,232 feet). The lowest point in the country is Baja Valley (-14 feet). The canton of Formosa is located southwest of Christianan. It is comprised of the island of Formosa, an old volcanic island rich in minerals and natural resources.
History
Government
The Helvetic government is strongly Republican in nature, and has been so since its inception in AD 1291. The Helvetic Confederation has had a total of three constitutions since AD 1291. All of these constitutions ensured some level of popular democracy in the nation. The modern constitution offers a balanced government, a bill of rights, universal suffrage at age 18, and much more. The current list of government officials can be found on the Executor-General's web site.
Politics
Economy
The Helvetic economy is strong and dynamic. Technology represents a large segment of the economy. The largest share of the economy, however, is banking and finiancial services. Helvetic banking laws allow international investors a level of security that is rarely found elsewhere in Europe. The nation imports roughly as much as it exports, keeping any trade deficits low. The nation's biggest trading partners are Christianan, Liechtenistan, South Germany and Erlangen-Ansbach.
Religion
The Helvetic government does not endorse any particular religion and offers universal religious freedom within the nation. The largest faith followed in the nation is Christianity and the single largest sect of Christianity in the nation is the Church of Christos Progressa. The second largest sect of Christianity is Twentish Catholicism. Several other Protestant sects also boast followings. Bhuddism, Hinduism, and Taoism are commonly found on Formosa. There can also be found groups of the Jewish and Islamic faiths around the nation.
International Relations
Diplomatically, the Helvetic Confederation attempts to maintain a distinct neutrality. However, the nation has always abided by fundamental principles such as self-determination for all peoples, anti-colonialism, and democratic governance. The Allied States are a member of the ITO (Interlaken Treaty Organization). The Helvetic Confederation is also a member of the EU, the EEP, and UNILO. The Confederation has strong ties to its southern neighbor, Christianan, with whom it has signed a military alliance treaty and a free trade agreement known as WEFTA.
Media
The primary media outlet of the Helvetic Confederation is Radio Helvetica.
