The Cultist State of Blood Sacrifice and Fire is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by The Hidden One with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, prohibition of alcohol, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.986 billion Fire Cultists and Servants of the Hidden One 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 tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Infernoth. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Flaming economy, worth a remarkable 2,097 trillion Tokens a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 210,011 Tokens, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,485,175 per year while the poor average 9,960, a ratio of 149 to 1.

New treatments are rejected if they cannot be explained using only one-syllable words, terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, water fights now end with thousands dead, and jaywalkers are condemned to lives of poverty for their heinous crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Blood Sacrifice and Fire's national animal is the Flaming Serpent, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cult of the Hidden One and the Fire God.

Blood Sacrifice and Fire is ranked 1,804th in the world and 2nd in Psychotic Dictatorships for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 11,816.1 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
