The Democratic Republic of Democates is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Himanshu with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 2.98 billion Democatesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of उरई. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Democatesian economy, worth 399 trillion Rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,977 Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The law is more interested in punishing crime than preventing it, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, kitchen patrol is dominated by ten-year-old runts, and gun ownership is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Democates's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Humanity.

Democates is ranked 200,561^st in the world and 3,614^th in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring zero on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
