“TONIGHT, WE YIFF IN HELL!”

The Kingdom of HellCon 2010 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.117 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and Education are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of HellCon 2010 City. The average income tax rate is 98%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Woodchip Exports.

Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and the dead are minced up and sold to people in burger form. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HellCon 2010's national animal is the fux, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Yiff.

HellCon 2010 is ranked 16th in the region and 7,107th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
