The Demonic Maid of Rem is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its fear of technology, rampant corporate plagiarism, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 8.887 billion Remians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 56.2%.

The Remian economy, worth 524 trillion holy coins a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,021 holy coins, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

Polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, foreign leaders are advising that Leader's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, and wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rem's national animal is the demon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Rem is ranked 79,007^th in the world and 63^rd in Remembrance for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 56.19 Effective Tax Rate.
