The Occult Coalition of Hellborn Voland is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by the Marshal of the Abyss with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, vat-grown people, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.601 billion Hellborns have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pandaemonium. The average income tax rate is 41.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hellborn economy, worth 401 trillion Volandic Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 111,607 Volandic Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Hellborn Voland, friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, citizens living in underground cities have developed a healthy green glow, and shady doctors seem to have impeccable records. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Hellborn Voland's national animal is the Goat girls, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Primordial Truth.

Hellborn Voland is ranked 225,189^th in the world and 113^th in Hell for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 204.62 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
