The Democratic Republic of Democates is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by People's of Democates with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 7.96 billion Democatesians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of उरई. The average income tax rate is 4.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Democatesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,088 trillion Gold coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 262,412 Gold coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Home renovation projects take decades to complete, entomologists flock to उरई for its remarkable gadfly population, more and more musicians are refusing to put labels on their sound, and universities spend millions cultivating ivy on their buildings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Democates's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Humanity.

Democates is ranked 254,221^st in the world and 14,349^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 27.47 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
