The Serene Republic of Demincia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Il Mentore with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 32.523 billion Demincians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Demincia City. The average income tax rate is 83.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Demincian economy, worth a remarkable 2,928 trillion Vatyas a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,033 Vatyas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, big game hunters travel to Demincia to try their hand at shark-shooting, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, and counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Demincia's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The Creed.

Demincia is ranked 318,577^th in the world and 1^st in Permanent Isolation for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 21.08 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
