The Vast Empire of Fiery Hell Hole is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Sir Charles Biggus the thruster with an iron fist, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, frequent executions, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.879 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, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy 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 30.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Fiery Hell Holean economy, worth 704 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 144,398 schitt stains, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 708,577 per year while the poor average 16,842, a ratio of 42.1 to 1.

Government contracted tax collectors often 'accidentally' over-charge citizens and skim the surplus, being impolite in public is punishable by heavy fines, the nation's drinking water tends to glow green at night, and returning tourists and businessmen are detained without trial if they belong to the "wrong" religion. 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 111,114^th in the world and 8^th in The Great Power for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,448.33 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
