The Rogue Nation of Demon XII is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 6.057 billion Demon XIIians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The strong Demon XIIian economy, worth 370 trillion Souls a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 61,208 Souls, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 394,492 per year while the poor average 3,836, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Demon XII's national animal is the Hell Hound, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Demon XII is ranked 39,522^nd in the world and 29^th in Hell for Highest Food Quality, scoring 41.77 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
