The Hellhouse of Krot is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Devil Nine with an iron fist, and notable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 24.836 billion Krotians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krotia. The average income tax rate is 57.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Krotian economy, worth 494 trillion Kroes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 19,930 Kroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government funds private schools for intellectually gifted children, well-off serial killers write monthly checks to avoid jail time, Devil Nine has just been declared ruler of Krot in an international press conference, and Krot has designated Krotia as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Krot's national animal is the beaver and its national religion is Hellism.

Krot is ranked 81,300^th in the world and 3^rd in America do Sul for Most Primitive, scoring 26.46 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
