The Vast Empire of Fiery Hell Hole is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Sir Charles Biggus the thruster with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.47 billion Fiery Hell Holeans 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Schitting. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Fiery Hell Holean economy, worth 590 trillion schitt stains a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 132,056 schitt stains, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 631,039 per year while the poor average 16,205, a ratio of 38.9 to 1.

The children of Fiery Hell Hole are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, hordes of gardening enthusiasts are being banished from cities nationwide, and a typical peasant's life cycle leads from birth to the gallows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fiery Hell Hole's national animal is the Scraggly parking lot bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is hail to the GREAT THRUSTER.

Fiery Hell Hole is ranked 297,503^rd in the world and 12^th in The Great Power for Nicest Citizens, with 0.37 average smiles per day.
