The Republic of De-mirage193 is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 873 million De-mirage193ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 21.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The De-mirage193ian economy, worth 39.1 trillion Crates a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,807 Crates, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government expresses surprisingly intense opinions on the use of whip pans, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem, and homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. De-mirage193's national animal is the Chud, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

De-mirage193 is ranked 194,819^th in the world and 10,259^th in Lazarus for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 472.02 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
