The Democratic Republic of Democates is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Himanshu with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 4.132 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of उरई. The average income tax rate is 79.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Democatesian economy, worth 667 trillion Gold coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 161,598 Gold coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Meteorologists warn of fog just past 4pm daily, homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes, treaties are taken to be mere rules of thumb, and the nation's economic policies have a narrow area of effect. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable 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 45,610^th in the world and 557^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 5,483.31 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
