The World of Sathan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Satan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 26.209 billion Sathanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valhalla. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sathanian economy, worth a remarkable 6,453 trillion dracs a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 246,237 dracs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, love means always having to say you're sorry, grim instructresses lead the unwillingly impregnated in chants of "it's all my fault" and "blessed be the fruit", and the sparkling rainbow has become a symbol of far-right extremism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sathan's national animal is the werewolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Satanism.

Sathan is ranked 123,688^th in the world and 45^th in Hell for Most Extreme, scoring 16.95 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
