The Hellatious Nation of Belphegors Prime is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 10.145 billion Primeans 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 large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 46.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Belphegors Prime economy, worth 97.2 trillion Pounds 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, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming and Retail. 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 9,580 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belphegors Prime's national animal is the Mathematician, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Belphegors Prime is ranked 108,727^th in the world and 122^nd in Hell for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 46.59 Effective Tax Rate.
