The Community of Demoratios is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 534 million Demoratiosians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Demoratiosian economy, worth 52.2 trillion Ideals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is 97,701 Ideals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song, the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, and birth rates have hit an all-time low. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Demoratios's national animal is the lemur, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Demoratios is ranked 146,146^th in the world and 551^st in Europeia for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,849.24 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
