The Cursed Burning Legions of Hellslayer is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Grand Architect Balthazar Sturm with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, infamous sell-swords, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.357 billion Demons 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Inferneum. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Demonic economy, worth a remarkable 5,218 trillion Sols a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 459,460 Sols, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,500,902 per year while the poor average 16,610, a ratio of 210 to 1.

Epidemiologists happily announce that the reported incidence of depression is close to zero percent, breaking rocks in the hot sun now involves using your head, only adults may purchase violent video games, and even immigrants complain that immigrants keep taking their jobs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hellslayer's national animal is the wyvern, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Temple of Umbra.

Hellslayer is ranked 306,536th in the world and 275th in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Most Cultured, scoring -107 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
