So an alternative Dictator Charlie with more pleasant overtones but somewhat sinister undertones?
Pretty neat
-
It's the "We" meets "Brave New World" version, where the sinner population is kept drugged and indoctrinated with velvet-gloved methods, while the Hellborne are allowed to return to their tribal ways. Exterminations are no more, since the regime does it, in as humanely as it is possible, while keeping the sinners under control.

Would the hellborn population even be interested in that? I doubt they'd go into the cold night willingly.

They don't have much of a choice. What Charlie did is basically flip the script: instead of Pride being a Sinner ghetto, now it is a gated community/hospice for sinners, who live under Charlie's "perfect" reign.
The rest of the nobility, not wanting to risk their privileges, and with the regime not really intruding on their lives, moved into the other rings. With Pride's sinner population stabilizing, however, the economy of the other rings tanked, as many Sinner-founded corporations have either been merged into state-owned trusts, or have been dissolved, and demand has significantly lowered.
So, the nobles have resumed their full feudal responsibilities. Business and commerce still exists, but a lot of Hell's native population now has little to do but eke out an existence without the massive economic hubs of Pentagram or even Imp City.

Interesting concept.
One area worth mulling over however would be what happened to all the old industrial equipment. I doubt Hell's entire industrial base was located in the single ring of Pride. Either the old base was relocated, destroyed, or commandeered by noble houses. Or some combination thereof.
There's also the argument of where the raw materials in Hell come from. Does the new Royal House extract a tithe system from the nobility? Send us raw materials and we don't ruin your day? Thus in order to meet the increasing demands, more and more segments of the hellborn population are put to work in manual labour jobs.

Basically. Pride does it's fair share of work, but it's a quasi-autarky (well, it works for itself without being fully self-reliant), while the nobles manage the fields and factories in other rings. Trade still exists between the rings, but rather than being a unified system, it's almost like each ring is its own country. It's an odd blend of early capitalism and mercantilism.
Of course, Charlie mandates that the Hellborne aren't worked to death and have social safety net. After all, if she's providing basically the same for the Sinners, who are essentially on borrowed time and are basically unwanted responsibility dumped onto Hell, then the natives who make her system possible deserve nothing less.
The system therefore is more threadbare in the other rings, with nobles taking care of their subjects the best they could, and without the mass surveillance and control that Pride exercises.

Pride has little to offer for them, besides not making the Sinners their problem as well. However, in case a noble oversteps their boundaries or becomes too exploitative, the system has enough flexibility in it to essentially put an end to serfdom, reducing said noble's role to a purely ceremonial one, while their subjects are allowed to flourish.
Basically, thanks to Vaggie, they have enough economic reserves (and the right diplomatic connections) to upend tyranny. It happens only once in a blue moon, but it's enough to make Charlie popular among the lower Hellborne in spite of the nobility being their direct caretakers.

TL;DR, the Queen can pull a Denmark+Matthias Corvinus combo to get rid of corrupt nobles.
