The Republic of Demonic Gate is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Federal Council Chancellor with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 6.487 billion Demonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hellish City. The average income tax rate is 2.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Demonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,587 trillion Shells a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 244,742 Shells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Volunteers are signing up to take arms against an incursion of flesh-eating zombies (Demonic Gate has found 1 easter egg), scientists are terrified of fabulous new breakthroughs, the government airlifts sacrificial lambs, and children high on sugar can often be seen bouncing off walls. Crime is totally unknown. Demonic Gate's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Demonic Gate is ranked 318,761^st in the world and 194^th in Karma for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.52 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
