The Grand Kingdom of Democratu is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Leonidas Thornton with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.063 billion Democratuans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Democratu City. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Democratuan economy, worth 210 trillion Denariis a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,781 Denariis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Almost all products in Democratu are hand-crafted due to strict employment laws, houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries, history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students, and businesses that prove successful are immediately broken up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Democratu's national animal is the Wyvern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Royal Cult.

Democratu is ranked 165,051^st in the world and 6,598^th in The North Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 44.6 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
