The Free Land of Impending Damnation is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 45.326 billion Impending Damnationians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Impending Damnationian economy, worth an astonishing 13,827 trillion marks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 305,073 marks, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals, a flying elephant and Leader share the same nickname, phenotypic plasticity is a struggle for sealife in polluted waters, and sex-ed is child's play. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Impending Damnation's national animal is the nympho, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Impending Damnation is ranked 286,226th in the world and 201st in Hell for Most Patriotic, with 0.18 flags saluted per person per day.
