The Corporeal States of Democratic North Korea is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Bowser with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 18.922 billion Democratic North Koreans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helsinki. The average income tax rate is 58.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Democratic North Korean economy, worth a remarkable 4,466 trillion Qevas 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. 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 amazing 236,070 Qevas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Brave curators do battle with disorganised government libraries, being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, and children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Democratic North Korea's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Democratic North Korea is ranked 274,212th in the world and 10,876th in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring 59 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
