The Hyena Sultanate of The Democratic Ethiopian Empire is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Dagedar the hyena with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 12.084 billion Democratic Ethiopian Empireans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abadus City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.0%.

The powerhouse Democratic Ethiopian Empirean economy, worth 985 trillion Sandgrains a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 81,513 Sandgrains, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

Lion-reed-vulture-hand-reed-mouth is how Dagedar the hyena is spelt now, inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, major internet servers have acquired citizenship, and board shorts have replaced board rooms. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Democratic Ethiopian Empire's national animal is the Hyena, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hyenaism.

The Democratic Ethiopian Empire is ranked 218,450^th in the world and 9^th in The Galactic Empire of Britain for Safest, scoring 30.67 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
