The Eurovision Song Contest of Helsinki 2007 is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Hanna Pakarinen with an even hand, and notable for its suspicion of poets and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 5.956 billion Helsinki 2007ians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helsinki. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The strong Helsinki 2007ian economy, worth 311 trillion Euros a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Average income is 52,285 Euros, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 284,384 per year while the poor average 4,942, a ratio of 57.5 to 1.

The logging industry is celebrating as tourists plaster Helsinki 2007 with trees, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, the inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, and retired racing Brown Bears are served truffles for breakfast. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Helsinki 2007's national animal is the Brown Bear and its national religion is Eurovision.

Helsinki 2007 is ranked 310,245th in the world and 10th in Free Thought for Lowest Crime Rates, with 42.74 law-abiding acts per hour.
