The Democratic Republic of Democates is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Himanshu with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.828 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 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Democatesian economy, worth 385 trillion Rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,185 Rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The new hit series "Democates's Got Trauma" has corporate executives fleeing the country, the government puts forth the claim that harming young girls is wrong, stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend, and D-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable 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 16,930^th in the world and 363^rd in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 92.47 law-abiding acts per hour.
