The Burning Legions of Hellslayer is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Grand Architect Balthazar Sturm with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, complete absence of social welfare, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.681 billion demons are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Inferneum. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.4%.

The frighteningly efficient demonic economy, worth a remarkable 7,458 trillion Sols a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 447,101 Sols, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,140,153 per year while the poor average 4,631, a ratio of 893 to 1.

Fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, women complaining about lack of opportunity are told to "man up", both criminals and civilians are DOA, and the past is set in stone. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hellslayer's national animal is the wyvern, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Temple of Umbra.

Hellslayer is ranked 310,931^st in the world and 153^rd in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Most Cultured, scoring -152 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
