The Kingdom of Hole to Hell is a large, efficient nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 123 million Hole to Hellians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.8%.

The thriving Hole to Hellian economy, worth 7.76 trillion Schitt Stains a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 63,104 Schitt Stains, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Courses in how to boil water are popular for formerly microwave-reliant Hole to Hellians, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Scraggly Parking Lot Bird Dung" has been declared a national treasure, copies of the constitution are used as toilet paper, and the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hole to Hell's national animal is the Scraggly Parking lot bird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Hole to Hell is ranked 129,904th in the world and 6th in Project Nighthawk for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 9,405.02 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
