The Inferno Republic of Hardened Pyrokinetics is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Jacquelyn Bernard with a fair hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 4.454 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Equality, Education, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merako. The average income tax rate is 99%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Children are raised bilingual from an early age, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, and welfare funding has recently gone through the roof. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Hardened Pyrokinetics's national animal is the Fire Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is the Grand Church of the Holy Flames, and its currency is the Fire Dollar.

Hardened Pyrokinetics is ranked 52nd in Ankh Mauta and 94,283rd in the world for Most Authoritarian, with 0.079 Stalins.
