The Federation of Bat Out Of Hell is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, avant-garde cinema, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, devout population of 1.665 billion Bat Out Of Hellians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 56.8%.

The all-consuming Bat Out Of Hellian economy, worth 173 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,335 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, a video of Leader wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, the government insists that a ghost voted ten million times in the last election, and the government has declared that sharing is uncaring. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bat Out Of Hell's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bat Out Of Hell is ranked 224,942^nd in the world and 12^th in Meat Loaf for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -1.26 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
