The Republic of Demon XVIII is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.741 billion Demon XVIIIians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The strong Demon XVIIIian economy, worth 135 trillion Souls a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is 49,562 Souls, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 319,437 per year while the poor average 3,106, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Demon XVIII's national animal is the Hell Hound, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Demon XVIII is ranked 117,983^rd in the world and 121^st in Hell for Most Cultured, scoring 66 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
