The People's Republic of Democratic peoples union is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by general secretary with an iron fist, and renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, frequent executions, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.678 billion Democratic peoples unionians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the capitol district. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Democratic peoples unionian economy, worth a remarkable 2,992 trillion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 344,803 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street, first-time moms are expected to be experienced parents from day one, every workday begins with group therapy, and bands of adventurers rove the countryside searching for monsters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Democratic peoples union's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the state.

Democratic peoples union is ranked 240,799^th in the world and 1^st in north korea on steroids for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
