The Safe Country of Demyis is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Cabot with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.995 billion Demians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Demyis city. The average income tax rate is 53.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Demyisian economy, worth 222 trillion Demyis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,602 Demyis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, billions of Demyis are being blown on orbital weapons development, and gangs have taken to secret handshakes after tattoos were banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Demyis's national animal is the Wild Demyi, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cabots' Holiness.

Demyis is ranked 254,893^rd in the world and 9,138^th in Balder for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 44.35 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
