The Democratic Republic of Democates is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Himanshu with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, daily referendums, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate population of 2.985 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 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Democatesian economy, worth 397 trillion Rupees a year, is fairly 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 133,076 Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, kitchen patrol is dominated by ten-year-old runts, gun ownership is compulsory, and cars have been banned. 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 34,004^th in the world and 783^rd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 201.49 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
