The Horrific Nightmare of Hellscapia is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by 20 the Devil with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, ritual sacrifices, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.413 billion demons 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 20 Pandæmonium. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The evil economy, worth a remarkable 1,606 trillion sins a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 191,011 sins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Military spending recently hit a new high, punk rockers smash it up and then clean it up, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, and tourists visiting the nation are warned not to drink local tap water. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Hellscapia's national animal is the cerberus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is 20 Satanism.

Hellscapia is ranked 301,702^nd in the world and 179^th in Hell for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -388.39 on the Hayek Index.
