The Republic of Demonic Gate is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Federal Council Chancellor with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 6.596 billion Demonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hellish City. The average income tax rate is 2.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Demonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,622 trillion Shells a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 245,943 Shells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, the car industry has been kicked into one-gear, not all rivers run to the sea, and children are afraid to go out at night due to the ubiquity of hardened jaywalkers. Crime is totally unknown. Demonic Gate's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Demonic Gate is ranked 226,068^th in the world and 151^st in Karma for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,115.96 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
