The Cut Price Karma of Demystification is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.01 billion Demystificationians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Demystificationian economy, worth 569 trillion Pennies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 63,176 Pennies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's space program is doxxing the planet, a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, moles make up an incredible part of the upper crust, and passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Demystification's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Demystification is ranked 35,242nd in the world and 4th in A 1000 Buddha Lands in This World for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 71.67 Effective Tax Rate.
