The Vicar of Freud of Democatic Donkeys is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Evil McMasterdonia with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, soft-spoken computers, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 20.637 billion Democatic Donkeynesians 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tangerine Dream. The average income tax rate is 94.7%.

The all-consuming Democatic Donkeynesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,565 trillion snakes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, extremely specialized black market in Book Publishing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 124,299 snakes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, minefields are being deployed along the border to discourage potential emigrants from trying to leave, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and the monarch frequently needs protecting from misfiring protection. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Democatic Donkeys's national animal is the sparkle pony, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Jim Morrisonism.

Democatic Donkeys is ranked 10,246th in the world and 460th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 117 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
