The Empire of Hellghon is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Autarch Tendon Cobar with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.694 billion Hellghasts are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyrrhus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Hellghonian economy, worth 713 trillion Vektans a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 193,232 Vektans, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 846,764 per year while the poor average 27,772, a ratio of 30.5 to 1.

Hellghasts must literally pay their respects to hear from their political representatives, traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, the government says only criminals harp on about "innocent until proven guilty", and to 'cut off family ties' is no longer just a phrase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Hellghon's national animal is the Steppe Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Helga.

Hellghon is ranked 302,878^th in the world and 220^th in Fifth Empire for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.09 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
