The Demonic Maid of Rem is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, national health service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.669 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Industry aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 45.2%.

The Remian economy, worth 70.2 trillion holy coins a year, is quite specialized and 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 42,031 holy coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Anyone who sneezes at border crossings is turned away, politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing, executions often take hours as amateurs attempt to find veins, and troop transports blacken the sky as the military commences Operation Desert Ocean. Crime is well under control, 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 27,005^th in the world and 113^th in Remembrance for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 1 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
