The Democratic Republic of Discs is a large, cultured nation, renowned for its public floggings, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 133 million Discsians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Administration, with Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 61.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Discsian economy, worth 6.07 trillion Rainbow Rocks a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,647 Rainbow Rocks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Populations of two-headed White Peacocks have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, windows in Discs City don't have much of a view, undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, and cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Discs's national animal is the White Peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Discs is ranked 76,267th in the world and 30th in Ridgefield for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,316.18 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
