The Union of Makai and Hell is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Satan with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, fear of technology, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.642 billion Daemons are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Education, Administration, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pandemonium. The average income tax rate is 32.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped local economy, worth 86.5 trillion sins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 23,742 sins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Meetings are often scheduled for "about four-ish" following complete conversion to sundials, people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, tabloids coo over Satan's expected child, and the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Makai and Hell's national animal is the Kraken, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Occultism.

Makai and Hell is ranked 181,614^th in the world and 105^th in Eientei Gensokyo for Safest, scoring 53.79 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
