The Republic of Democratie is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Douglas MacArthur with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.48 billion Democratieans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington DC. The average income tax rate is 54.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Democratiean economy, worth 214 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 144,843 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Nine out of ten citizens of Democratie answered 'nuclear safety inspector' when asked their occupation, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Democratie" at foreigners, and children often kick eagles for amusement. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Democratie's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Americanism.

Democratie is ranked 25,506^th in the world and 1,271^st in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.44 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
