The New Old Republic of Discov is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Destroky with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, complete lack of prisons, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, humorless population of 5.829 billion Discovians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Discity. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Discovian economy, worth 484 trillion Discs a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,053 Discs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts, manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, the military has forsaken terrestrial warfare, and people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Discov's national animal is the Vocsid, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Discov is ranked 273,373^rd in the world and 190^th in Thaecia for Most Primitive, scoring -262.24 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
