The High Athelingric of Demkos is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Asher Wiley with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, frequent executions, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, devout population of 8.208 billion Demkosians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osearwynn. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Demkosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,256 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 153,023 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

A positive GPA is all it takes to get an elite education, teens graduate from front of house retail to the frontlines of war, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, and prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Demkos's national animal is the snow leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Adoptionism.

Demkos is ranked 6,237^th in the world and 35^th in Snep for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 11,340.64 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
