The United Principalities of Infernia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Lucifer with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 15.294 billion Infernians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The enormous, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pandæmonium. The average income tax rate is 87.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Infernian economy, worth a remarkable 1,726 trillion obols a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 112,914 obols, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, astronauts take one small step for Infernia and one giant step backward from confrontation, pausing for applause during a speech is seen as a form of censorship, and modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Infernia's national animal is the whale, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Cult of Reason.

Infernia is ranked 148,740th in the world and 1st in Angvaria for Most Stationary, with 167.0081917258 days.
