The Sinners of Hellisbetter is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Reaper with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, avowedly heterosexual populace, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.479 billion Hellians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, 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 The Gates of Hell. The average income tax rate is 87.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hellian economy, worth 809 trillion Spleens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 147,760 Spleens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it, some are born loving old plays and some have old plays thrust upon them, stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, and talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hellisbetter's national animal is the Giant ditch frog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hellisbetter is ranked 73,603^rd in the world and 16^th in New World Union for Safest, scoring 93.11 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
