The Confederacy of Demicity is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.978 billion Demicityians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mileycity. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Demicityian economy, worth 721 trillion cryants a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 80,335 cryants, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Leader's bedroom, birth rates have hit an all-time low, a traveller who once stubbed a toe on an Air Brancaland flight has been offered asylum, and counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Demicity's national animal is the Demitrius, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judism.

Demicity is ranked 4,311^th in the world and 146^th in the South Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 95.39 percentage of bribes refused.
