The Oppressed Peoples of A Deal With The Devil is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 511 million demons 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 55.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant a demon economy, worth 4.31 trillion fires 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 8,427 fires, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Harry Potter books are banned, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A Deal With The Devil's national animal is the Beelzebub.
