The Helsonian Union (IPA: /hɛˈlsoʊniən ˈjuːnjən/, Helsen: Heelsyi, IPA: /hɛ:lsʲã/), officially the Great Union of the Helsonian Communist Republics (sometimes abbreviated "OHKR" after the Old Terminian for the full name), was a Kuulist state, straddling Šarkunen and Baredina with three autonomous "Communist Republics": Great Terminia, Utol and Amerhan. It was governed as a single-party state by the Communist Party with Kóri as its capital. Covering approximately 1.2 million square kilometers, the UHCR was the world's (number)th largest country by land area. The UHCR's climate was hot, owing to its proximity to the equator and the Tropic of Cancer, and had a landscape ranging from rainforests in the tropical south to bushland in the arid north. The Nepish mountain ranges in the north ran along the Nithalosian and Lesidean border, and the Hälentö lakes lay at the south of Utol. The Helsonian Union had its roots in the Terminian Revolution of 1925, which overthrew the Three Kingdoms. Led by Hari Tjelo, the revolution established the Terminian Communist Helsonian Republic, beginning a civil war between pro-communist Ambers and counter-revolution Lilacs. The Amber Army entered the previous regions of the Three Kingdoms, now in turmoil, and helped local Communists take power through helsonias that nominally acted on behalf of workers and peasants. The UHCR was a relative latecomer to extreme industrialisation compared to its Sarkunen neighbours and, during the course of the 20th century, remained largely agrarian until the early 1940s. The Helsonian Union was a top performer in numerous metrics of national performance, including unemployment, economic competitiveness and human development. However, it had long come under fire for its anti-nonhuman and anti-transsexual views. About 36.6% of citizens polled in the UHCR in 2014 expressed far-right opinions on issues such as race, species and gender. Notably, Helsonia did not hold views against homosexuality, due to the historical Pashaist practice of Fáár, religious homosexuality.
Etymology
The term "Helsonia" comes from the Old Terminian word "Hjelsen", roughly translated as council.
