The Holy Empire of He11bound is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7 million He11boundians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 7.1%.

The strong He11boundian economy, worth 444 billion たまごs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 63,525 たまごs, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, the police force is on a recruitment drive, and corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. He11bound's national animal is the rehan.

He11bound is ranked 298,826^th in the world and 203^rd in Karma for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 7.15 Effective Tax Rate.
