The Mystery Cult of Demeter is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Demeter with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 31.752 billion Demeteriuses are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mount Olympus. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Demeter economy, worth an astonishing 11,364 trillion grains a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 357,906 grains, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Demeter is described as an everyday person with normal tastes and the usual interests, politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and the same 31752 social media bloggers always loudly and immediately agree with Demeter's every word on Twitcher. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Demeter's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Eleusian Mysteries.

Demeter is ranked 308,153^rd in the world and 2^nd in Greek Islands for Fattest Citizens, with 0.85 Obesity Rate.
