The People's Republic of Democritas is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 274 million Democriti hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Frihet. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.3%.
The very strong Democritan economy, worth 15.4 trillion Varns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. Average income is 56,361 Varns, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.
A niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, national parks have long lines of different gender-specific 'Porta-Pottys', most Varn coins are riddled with bite marks, and Democritas has designated Frihet as its capital city. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Democritas's national animal is the Elk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Democritas is ranked 289,031st in the world and 82nd in Adairidae for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 9.32 Effective Tax Rate.
