The Democratic States of Hellod Immury is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, flagrant waste-dumping, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 741 million Hellod Immuryians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xan Lankaran. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Hellod Immuryian economy, worth 62.5 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 84,302 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 489,568 per year while the poor average 6,878, a ratio of 71.2 to 1.

The government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, the flight attendant who draws the short straw is on "cockpit bucket duty", bounty hunters have been dispatched to hunt down rogue bounty hunters, and banana distribution among collective farm workers is an important topic in public discourse. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Hellod Immury's national animal is the cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hellod Immury is ranked 27,166^th in the world and 686^th in The East Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 10.2 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
