Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Theocracy of Night on Bald Mountain is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.773 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Denom economy, worth 212 trillion Souls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 16,603 Souls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Night on Bald Mountain's national animal is the Demon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Night on Bald Mountain is ranked 66,726^th in the world and 14^th in Penguia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
