The Democratic Republic of Democates is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Himanshu with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, avant-garde cinema, and daily referendums. The compassionate population of 2.888 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 75.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Democatesian economy, worth 388 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 134,533 Rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Armed security details escort librarians to their homes, it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, Eckie-Ecola has declared that their soda poop is The Real Thing, and remote-control hang-gliding scarecrows patrol the skies to keep songbirds from leaving the nation's borders. 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 12,353^rd in the world and 324^th in the South Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 11,553.12 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
