The Holy Empire of He11bound is a tiny, efficient nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 14 million He11boundians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.6%.

The very strong He11boundian economy, worth 890 billion たまごs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 63,598 たまごs, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Drones are unable to lift the weight of their accompanying paperwork, the country is governed by a clique of political insiders known colloquially as The Establishment, if you go into the woods today you're sure of a big surprise, and "Darwin's Disease" is a growing cause of death. Crime is moderate. He11bound's national animal is the rehan, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

He11bound is ranked 196,366^th in the world and 74^th in Wintreath for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 31.16 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
