The Perfect Corruption of The Devil is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its parental licensing program, frequent executions, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, devout population of 14.268 billion Devilians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — prioritizes Law & Order, although Industry, Administration, and Defense are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hell's Kitchen. The average income tax rate is 81.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Devilian economy, worth a remarkable 1,039 trillion deceptions a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 72,872 deceptions, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government's new "quiet competence" initiative has supporters and detractors alike reeling in confusion, Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts, rundown towns are frequently sold to billionaires for their pet projects, and baby boys who pick up pink crayons are sent to a psychiatric ward. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Devil's national animal is the hell hound, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Devil is ranked 223,181^st in the world and 145^th in Hell for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
