The Diabolical Imperium of Gehenna Primus is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Malificar with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.994 billion Gehennans 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, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chernograd. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Gehennan economy, worth a remarkable 2,022 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 405,004 Imperial Credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,935,341 per year while the poor average 49,702, a ratio of 38.9 to 1.

The nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned, the moon's craters are more numerous every day, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, and libraries are bulldozed to make way for internet cafés. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gehenna Primus's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is nonexistent.

Gehenna Primus is ranked 379^th in the world and 1^st in Hell for Most Patriotic, with 143.9 flags saluted per person per day.
