The Democratic Republic of Democates is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Himanshu with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, national health service, and smutty television. The compassionate population of 2.963 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 76.6%, 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 133,128 Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders, the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita, the government is avowedly secular, and the law is more interested in punishing crime than preventing it. 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 70,344^th in the world and 1,227^th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 19.99 flags saluted per person per day.
