The Horrific Nightmare of Hellscapia is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by 20 the Devil with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, ban on automobiles, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.762 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 95.7%.

The enormous but inefficient evil economy, worth a remarkable 1,456 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 166,206 sins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Smiling in public is seen as criminally suspicious behaviour, the saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work", there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, and drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking. 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 4,126^th in the world and 12^th in Hell for Fattest Citizens, with 30.09 Obesity Rate.
