The Burning Legions of Hellslayer is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Grand Architect Balthazar Sturm with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.661 billion demons 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Inferneum. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.7%.

The frighteningly efficient demonic economy, worth a remarkable 7,412 trillion Sols a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 444,930 Sols, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,120,047 per year while the poor average 4,608, a ratio of 893 to 1.

Teenage girls worry that they'll be unpopular if their skirts aren't short enough, the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, gene-engineered sewerjacks don't smell but they do stink, and political shows are fit for purpose. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hellslayer's national animal is the wyvern, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Temple of Umbra.

Hellslayer is ranked 474th in the world and 2nd in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Fattest Citizens, with 81.06 Obesity Rate.
