The Republic of Democratic Hetmanate is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 541 million Hetmanateans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baturyn. The average income tax rate is 37.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Democratic Hetmanatean economy, worth 32.1 trillion Hetmanic Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,390 Hetmanic Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, snooze factory is now prison lingo for rehabilitation center, high school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, and ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Democratic Hetmanate's national animal is the Cossack Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Democratic Hetmanate is ranked 82,335^th in the world and 86^th in Aeternum for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,204.8 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
