The Monitory Democracy of Hellmire is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Abraham Greene with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.71 billion Hellmireans 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 Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nelsonsburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Hellmirean economy, worth 464 trillion Dracs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 125,291 Dracs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 536,161 per year while the poor average 18,769, a ratio of 28.6 to 1.

Global warming is heating up, virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, and the nation frequently scolds its subject territories for staying up past bedtime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hellmire's national animal is the Ashen Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.

Hellmire is ranked 113,980^th in the world and 6^th in The Draco Sector for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 42.52 Effective Tax Rate.
