The Heralds of Immolation of Laws and Bylaws is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Will Disenfranchise with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 40.153 billion Heralds of Immolation are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Spirituality are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Filibuster. The average income tax rate is 60.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient chaos-born economy, worth an astonishing 10,830 trillion subpoenas a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 269,740 subpoenas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conspiracy theorists allege Filibuster's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes, practising saying 'how now brown cow' is an essential part of holiday planning, and pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Laws and Bylaws's national animal is the lawyer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Laws and Bylaws is ranked 333,699th in the world and 3,470th in the Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring -33.76 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
