The Great Pit of The Infernum is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Overlord with an even hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, vat-grown people, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.228 billion Hellkin have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pandæmonium. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Infernal economy, worth a remarkable 3,913 trillion Crowns a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 320,042 Crowns, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.
Many of the country's largest dumps can be seen from space, you can bet your bottom dollar that gambling will cost you an arm and a leg, politicians look weirdly alike, and the Small Council has more than a little influence. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Infernum's national animal is the Hellspawn, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Church of the Morningstar.
The Infernum is ranked 845th in the world and 2nd in Underworld for Most Corrupt Governments, with 511.53 kickbacks per hour.
