The Caustic Environment of Haunted Roller Coaster is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by HRC with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 9.419 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Education, Commerce, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of H2SO4. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

A government program is underway to revitalize Haunted Roller Coaster's beaches, murder rates are on the rise as the popularity of soylent products grows, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, and all prisons have been eliminated. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Haunted Roller Coaster's national animal is the OH, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Ca.

Haunted Roller Coaster is ranked 16th in Ulthar and 2,598th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
