The Safe Country of Demyis is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Cabot with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.938 billion Demians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Demyis city. The average income tax rate is 49.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Demyisian economy, worth 222 trillion Demyis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,590 Demyis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute, nuclear warheads are frequently launched into space as a warning to invading meteoroids, military chiefs are predicting extra funding in this year's budget, and the nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Demyis's national animal is the Wild Demyi, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cabots' Holiness.

Demyis is ranked 37,782^nd in the world and 1,613^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,756.69 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
