Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Oppressed Peoples of Pure Evil Incarnate is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Satan with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.904 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business morass -- devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Social Equality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Satanic Lair . Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Artists are jailed regularly and art-burning parties are common, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, the nation's drinking water tends to glow green at night, and the country has unplugged its internet connection to prevent subversive content. Crime is a problem. Pure Evil Incarnate's national animal is the zombie, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Satanic Gods, and its currency is the flesh.

Pure Evil Incarnate is ranked 8th in 00000 A World Power and 4,166th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring 17 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
