The Glorious Republic of Hells Ninth Circle is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Archchancellor Kim Nacht Wan with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.006 billion Circleans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Narkomanonyashegrad. The average income tax rate is 52.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Hells Ninth Circlean economy, worth 237 trillion Coke's bottle caps a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 118,614 Coke's bottle caps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Educators and parents alike are allowing children to view the internet again after violent videos were purged, the leading national news source is 'my cousin Billy-Bob on MyFace', all tariffs have been abolished, and tourists need only sign on the dotted line to become citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hells Ninth Circle's national animal is the Squirrel-Spider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hells Ninth Circle is ranked 34,216^th in the world and 1,744^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 770.62 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
