The Democratic States of Self-pity is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 4.846 billion Self-pityians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 28.9%.

The Self-pityian economy, worth 207 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,721 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, it's rare to find an unchewed pencil, you're only as old as you feel, and funding for education has been redirected into the military. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate. Self-pity's national animal is the Kitsune, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Self-pity is ranked 190,141^st in the world and 2^nd in United Furry Republic for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.83 percentage of bribes refused.
