The Republic of Dempublicents1 is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 10.824 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Demville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38%. A healthy private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Basket Weaving and Woodchip Exports.

Innocent defendants often plea guilty for fear of receiving a much harsher sentence before jury, Leader has just been declared ruler of Dempublicents1 in an international press conference, Dempublicents1 successfully hosted the Island Of The Moon Olympics, and people are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dempublicents1's national animal is the macaque, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dinero.

Dempublicents1 is ranked 1st in the region and 3,665th in the world for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector.
