The Dictatorship of Hellbreak is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its restrictive gun laws, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 563 million Hellbreakers 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 48.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Hellbreakian economy, worth 4.83 trillion Sinqs 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming and Arms Manufacturing. 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 8,580 Sinqs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomats shake hands with their right and hide a poison dagger in their left, creating cardboard imitations of missiles is a new top-secret military project, the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, and citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hellbreak's national animal is the Tasmanian Devil, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hellbreak is ranked 273,214^th in the world and 9,991^st in Osiris for Highest Food Quality, scoring 6.56 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
