All these demons seem to be remarkable well organized - Grand General, President, Grand Duke, commander of second legion, etc. It's sort of like the Freemasons isn't it?

In the sense of organized esotericness, definitely.
With demons, there's a number of books throughout the ages that organize, describe, and describe how one might communicate/summon these creatures. In general, the practice is regarded as faustian in nature, that is, one is to sacrifice a part of themselves to gain the 'powers'.
Freemasons are more like a fraternity (or old boys club) these days, although steeped into a history of bizarre philosophy and initiation rituals. 'Dark' but certainly not demonic.

No, I was being facetious, you're right about the masons. I meant that the demons are like the masons rather than the other way around!
I think it would be fun to write a story about hell, from the perspective of a lower-middle ranking demon of the officer class, a subaltern if you will. Sort of like an infernal Catch 22. It's probably already been done.

Ahaha, yes, 'hell' would certainly be a möbius strip of clusterfuckage.
