The Monitory Democracy of Hellmire is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Abraham Greene with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.694 billion Hellmireans 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 government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Environment and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nelsonsburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Hellmirean economy, worth 461 trillion Dracs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 124,913 Dracs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 534,543 per year while the poor average 18,712, a ratio of 28.6 to 1.

On graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, global warming is heating up, virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, and the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hellmire's national animal is the Ashen Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.

Hellmire is ranked 104,073rd in the world and 3rd in The Draco Sector for Safest, scoring 81.68 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
