The Burning Legions of Hellslayer is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Grand Architect Balthazar Sturm with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, conspicuous electricity pylons, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.826 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, 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 30.8%.

The frighteningly efficient demonic economy, worth a remarkable 7,692 trillion Sols a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 457,152 Sols, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,233,221 per year while the poor average 4,735, a ratio of 893 to 1.

Not all rivers run to the sea, adjacent suburbs build competing earthworks to force the other neighbourhood to flood first, newborns are being raised as mindless killing machines, and charity distribution sites are regularly raided by the police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hellslayer's national animal is the wyvern, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Temple of Umbra.

Hellslayer is ranked 556^th in the world and 2^nd in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 453.75 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
