The Matriarchy of Demosoucia is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.922 billion Demosoucians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nouva Lounchtablia. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Demosoucian economy, worth 893 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 227,651 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens try to pass off bottlecaps they found in their backyards as historical artifacts, stony-faced ratings board panelists are unamused by free lap dances, electricity company executives pray nightly to Zeus and Thor, and the once prosperous capital is in utter decline. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Demosoucia's national animal is the Badger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Demosoucia is ranked 14,310^th in the world and 3^rd in The Lunch Table for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 5,718.43 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
