The Democratic Republic of Discs is a large, safe nation, renowned for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 151 million Discsians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Administration, although Education, Law & Order, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Discsian economy, worth 6.74 trillion Rainbow Rocks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is 44,666 Rainbow Rocks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', and there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Discs's national animal is the White Peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Discs is ranked 273,422^nd in the world and 27^th in Ridgefield for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
