The Republic of Dem Coquatchter is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.253 billion Dem Coquatchterians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Dem Coquatchterian economy, worth 416 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 97,981 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 307,745 per year while the poor average 23,886, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

Marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, and employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dem Coquatchter's national animal is the unicorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Dem Coquatchter is ranked 122,121st in the world and 4th in Arda for Fattest Citizens, with 10.72 Obesity Rate.
