The Democratic Republic of Democates is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Himanshu with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.921 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 75.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Democatesian economy, worth 394 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 134,928 Rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

A government program is underway to revitalize Democates's beaches, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, Himanshu's opponents have adopted dogs to chase away the mailman, and airport security is provided by private companies. 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 21,584^th in the world and 580^th in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 113.19 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
