The World of Sathan is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Satan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 37.706 billion Sathanians 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, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valhalla. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Sathanian economy, worth an astonishing 10,583 trillion dracs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 280,694 dracs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, optometrists will see citizens in seconds but health inspectors won't be sighted for years, and black gold is looking more brown these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sathan's national animal is the werewolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Satanism.

Sathan is ranked 348th in the world and 3rd in Hell for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 15,396.48 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
