Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Abyssal Caverns of PurgatoryHell is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Man in the Suit with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 12.76 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stull Cemetary. The average income tax rate is 98%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Automobile Manufacturing.

Atheists and evolutionary biologists are fleeing the country like rats from a sinking ship, the workforce is almost entirely made up of slave labour, the government funds private schools for intellectually gifted children, and government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. PurgatoryHell's national animal is the Unsightly Bum, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Waterboarding, and its currency is the I-O-U.

PurgatoryHell is ranked 70th in Lazarus and 1,495th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 35 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
