The Republic of Demonic Gate is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Federal Council Chancellor with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and digital currency. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.587 billion Demonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hellish City. The average income tax rate is 47.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Demonian economy, worth 253 trillion Shells a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 159,546 Shells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, praying before a battle is a court-martial offence, military officials are questioning the policy of ceding the nation's territory in exchange for promises not to invade it, and welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got. Crime is well under control. Demonic Gate's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Demonic Gate is ranked 84,353^rd in the world and 61^st in Karma for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,020.76 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
