The Kiss of Deathh is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Zero Two with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 2.426 billion Parasites enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mistilteinn. The average income tax rate is 82.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Deathhian economy, worth 132 trillion Petals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 54,430 Petals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The state auctions off combat drones to fund war reparations, military units are often seen arguing over which one is truly favored by the gods, angry citizens complain that there isn't enough geographical diversity on the new banknotes, and older citizens lament over the loss of law and order. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deathh's national animal is the Jian, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Deathh is ranked 283,788^th in the world and 10,799^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -14.07 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
