The Vast Empire of Fiery Hell Hole is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Sir Charles Biggus the thruster with an iron fist, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, parental licensing program, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.855 billion Fiery Hell Holeans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Schitting. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Fiery Hell Holean economy, worth 696 trillion schitt stains a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 143,377 schitt stains, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 643,754 per year while the poor average 19,735, a ratio of 32.6 to 1.

Plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, Eckie-Ecola has declared that their soda poop is The Real Thing, epidemiologists happily announce that the reported incidence of depression is close to zero percent, and the studies of art and philosophy are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fiery Hell Hole's national animal is the Scraggly parking lot bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is hail to the GREAT THRUSTER.

Fiery Hell Hole is ranked 44,502^nd in the world and 4^th in The Great Power for Most Developed, scoring 78.61 on the Human Development Index.
