The Cursed Burning Legions of Hellslayer is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Grand Architect Balthazar Sturm with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, anti-smoking policies, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.609 billion Demons 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, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Inferneum. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 92.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Demonic economy, worth a remarkable 5,485 trillion Sols a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 472,491 Sols, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,129,673 per year while the poor average 27,424, a ratio of 114 to 1.

Parents must decide between buying food and taking their children to the park, rabbits are known to spontaneously explode without warning, royals are always ready with their diamond-encrusted toilet plungers in case a royal flush doesn't work, and wyvern populations thrive as dogs are slaughtered in the millions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hellslayer's national animal is the wyvern, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Temple of Umbra.

Hellslayer is ranked 289,903rd in the world and 232nd in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Safest, scoring 3.62 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
