The Republic of Demonic Gate is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Federal Council Chancellor with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 6.456 billion Demonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hellish City. The average income tax rate is 2.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Demonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,568 trillion Shells a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 243,024 Shells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government single-handedly sustains the bunk bed market, the Hellish City State Museum is said to be haunted by ghastly musicians playing 'Nearer Violet to Thee', death is nobody's business, and Demonians firmly believe that their heroes never farted or popped their pimples. Crime is totally unknown. Demonic Gate's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Demonic Gate is ranked 34,881^st in the world and 59^th in Karma for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,452.38 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
