“What fun is a soothing ball of fire?”

The Burning Hot Queendom of Raging Ball of Fire is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its superstitious fear of technology. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 12.602 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, a vast monorail network carries people all over the country, society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy, and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Raging Ball of Fire's national animal is the Firey Dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Match.

Raging Ball of Fire is ranked 4th in the region and 54,898th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
