The Federation of Bat Out Of Hell is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The compassionate, devout population of 1.503 billion Bat Out Of Hellians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 54.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Bat Out Of Hellian economy, worth 158 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,531 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Beggars lack pockets for spare change, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, the free market's hand is quite visible, and builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bat Out Of Hell's national animal is the kiwi, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bat Out Of Hell is ranked 64,596^th in the world and 12^th in Meat Loaf for Most Developed, scoring 72.65 on the Human Development Index.
