The Dominatus Malefici of Pseudomonarchy Demonum is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Satan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 46.529 billion demonum 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 minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dis. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient demonic economy, worth an astonishing 26,037 trillion souls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 559,589 souls, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,028,844 per year while the poor average 53,453, a ratio of 56.7 to 1.

Exceptionally talented workers are praised more than Revolutionary heroes, military instructors tire of being asked for another bedtime story by seven-year-old conscripts, children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, and parents who try to organize playdates for their kids have police drop through their ceilings. 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. Pseudomonarchy Demonum's national animal is the dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is satanism.

Pseudomonarchy Demonum is ranked 40^th in the world and 3^rd in Scandinavia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 34,604.66 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
