The Oppressed Peoples of Helll is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, fear of technology, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 579 million damneds are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The medium-sized, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.4%.
The very strong Helllian economy, worth 31.9 trillion souls a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 55,079 souls, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 188,964 per year while the poor average 11,783, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.
Babysitters are a thing of the past, the controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular, travelers often bring empty plastic bottles on Air Helll flights to avoid the pay lavatories, and meetings are often scheduled for "about four-ish" following complete conversion to sundials. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Helll's national animal is the suffering, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Helll is ranked 226,366th in the world and 7th in The Cheese War for Most Beautiful Environments, with 423.71 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
