Intermezzo: Organization of Hell

in which I try to explain how Chaos is organized.

I'm currently occupied with boring paperwork that won't be of any interest for you; but you might wonder how hell is organized. I have drawn you a little diagram to clarify things:
Note that down here, hierarchy goes downwards - so the deeper an entity is on the diagram, the more powerful it is. At the very bottom is, of course, the Antichrist, Destroyer of Kings, Angel of the Bottomless Pit, Great Beast that is called Dragon, Prince of This World, Father of Lies and Lord of Darkness - also known as Satan. Then the organization splits into two parts, commonly known as "Administration" and "Inquisition". The former constitutes the majority of infernal hierarchy, the latter one serves as powerful (and dreaded) control entity.

The schema is, of course, simplified - things are actually more complicated. R&D, for example, responds partially to Inquisition, as they are constantly looking for new ways of temptation, and this has to be "in line" with infernal ideology. The same holds for the marketing department whose objective is to popularize trends and ideologies and on earth that may help our cause, be it faschism, unhealthy beauty ideals or "religiously" motivated homophobia.

Note that all departments are present in different circles of Hell - for example "my" second circle which focusses on the sin of Lust.

Note also that the military is not represented in the diagram, it's organized les "corporate" and more "feudal", each prince pf hell having legions of hell under his order. A side effect of this is that conflicts on "corporate" level are often resolved with military means, internal wars are a daiuly occurence.
