The Vast Empire of Fiery Hell Hole is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Sir Charles Biggus the thruster with an iron fist, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.977 billion Fiery Hell Holeans 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Schitting. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Fiery Hell Holean economy, worth 725 trillion schitt stains 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 extensive. Average income is an impressive 145,695 schitt stains, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 714,939 per year while the poor average 16,993, a ratio of 42.1 to 1.

Heart attacks are regarded as a coming of age ritual, Dàguó is simultaneously dead and alive, the nation's hospitals are criticized for caring more about profits than patients, and apples shaped like baguettes have become a strange new food fad. 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.
