The Sultanate of Demesetelis is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Caane Demesetelis with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 6.928 billion Demesetelians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Camel Rider City. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Demesetelian economy, worth a remarkable 1,421 trillion Demes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 205,157 Demes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Same-sex marriages are increasingly common, asthmatics can now suffer the effects of polluting chimneys from further away than ever before, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, and droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Demesetelis's national animal is the Ocelot, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Demesetelis is ranked 88,319th in the world and 22nd in The Commonwealth Society for Safest, scoring 86.84 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
