The Matriarchy of Demosoucia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.884 billion Demosoucians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nouva Lounchtablia. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Demosoucian economy, worth 880 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 226,684 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Debating the meaning of life is widely viewed as a crucifying experience, Humongo-Mart's Beef 'n Badger Lasagne is a hit, the restriction that you must be over 1.1 metres tall to ride a carnotaurus has recently been waived, and the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Demosoucia's national animal is the Badger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Demosoucia is ranked 327,987^th in the world and 4^th in The Lunch Table for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 18.62 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
