The Most Serene Republic of Demeta is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.395 billion Demetans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 13.0%.

The Demetan economy, worth 78.9 trillion pesetas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 56,528 pesetas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Prisoners have been known to host cooking and home décor television shows, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, former bars are desperately trying to re-brand themselves as cafés, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is relatively low. Demeta's national animal is the Great Delphian lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Demeta is ranked 103,639^th in the world and 12^th in Solstice for Most Cultured, scoring 66 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
