The Principality of Dembita is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its daily referendums, rampant corporate plagiarism, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 1.195 billion Dembitans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Dembitan economy, worth 194 trillion bullions a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 163,179 bullions, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,396,000 per year while the poor average 3,301, a ratio of 422 to 1.

Shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, the number of eyes rolled per maths lesson is increasing exponentially, all the playground's a stage for Dembitan schoolchildren, and fake beard sales are on the rise amongst female commuters. Crime is totally unknown. Dembita's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Dembita is ranked 309,762nd in the world and 1,091st in Concord for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -4.47 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
