The Kingdom of Demetland is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Buddwal II with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.474 billion Dymytians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nwyfai. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Dymytish economy, worth a remarkable 1,707 trillion llifrs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 148,802 llifrs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,323,791 per year while the poor average 2,270, a ratio of 583 to 1.

Knock-knock jokes regularly get removed from websites for being too edgy, a good deed is rewarded with a thank you note attached to a deportation order, bargain-hunting is considered unpatriotic, and tower block residents are each held responsible for four square inches of front lawn. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Demetland's national animal is the bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Mylosphagy.

Demetland is ranked 285,359th in the world and 4th in Orion Spur for Most Politically Free, scoring 14.71 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
