The Human Democracy (commonly referred to as the Democracy) is a sovereign state composed of 54 galaxies in the, known collectively as the. The nation is one of the most respected members of the Superclusteral Council, as its sole inhabitants, the humans, arose to power without any interaction from any other species, as the Human Group was only ever inhabited by the humans as a sole sentient species. With a population of 9.893 billion and a metaphysical population of 82.244 billion as of 8014, the Human Democracy is comparably small to other Council member states in terms of population. In terms of spatial territory, however, the Democracy is average in size.

The Human Democracy is a direct democracy with a technocratic executive. Humans, interconnected to one another through the Mentanet, are capable of hive-like governance, and as a result, the administration and enforcement of laws decided upon by humanity is enforced technologically through semi-autonomous robots. It is because of this that there technically is no human government other than all humans collectively, meaning that the Democracy is officially a state without a sentient government. Instead, all decisions that the majority of humans agree upon are then enforced physically by robotic administrators with limited artificial intelligence. This simplified process of democratic rule is based upon the direct democracies of ancient human societies such as Athens and Switzerland, and was implemented into its current form after the Taurus-Epsilon-Minor Agreement of 4877. The Human Democracy was established in its current borders by 6729, and has maintained territorial sovereignty over them ever since.

Humanity first established its space faring empire in 2304, after a coalition of nation states established full colonial control over the planet Mars in the Sol System. However, disagreements over the rule of the colony along with continued political instability and fragmentation on the planet Earth led to a massive conflict between Earth-based nation states, leading to the eventual abandonment of the Mars colony and the technological setback of human societies by hundreds of years. Earth remained a place of constant war until 3011, when the planet was united under a single government for the first time in human history. It was because of this that humanity was able to become a successful space faring species and create colonies not only in its own solar system, but expand to others by as early as 3567. As humanity expanded across its galaxy, the species began to experience growing pains, as the singular government of the human polity was unable to cope with its constantly expanding and already vast size. In 4072, the inability of the human government to function properly throughout all of its territories saw a massive revolt in portions of its empire, which at this point stretched across the Milky Way Galaxy. The humans were plunged into war once again, although this time, the rebelling peoples found ways to metaphysically store their consciousness as digitized persons and revive ancient humans using fragments of their genetic code. It was because of this that humanity was unable to find a proper resolution to its conflict, and by the forty-ninth century, the original human government admitted to defeat at one of its last outposts. The new government, the government of the current times, was thus established in a metaphysical form which would allow for humans to collectively rule themselves through technology rather than elect people to represent them. Soon after, humanity entered a golden age of technological progress, economic development, and colonial expansion, as the peoples of the Democracy began to spread into other local galaxies. At this point, humans had believed that they were alone in the universe, and it was not until they developed the ability to travel between galaxies in relatively short amount of times that the Superclusteral Council, an international collective of massive states located in the local galactic supercluster, took notice of the human government. Although unstable in relations at first contact, the Human Democracy established respectable communications between themselves and the Council, with many Council members finding the status of humanity in its local group to be peculiar, interesting, and highly respectable. It it because of the human ability that the Council agreed to recognize the sovereign territory of the Human Democracy by their current borders, by which humanity had fully colonized by the year 6822. Soon after the fulfillment of the human spatial territory, the Democracy underwent a golden age of economic progress and culture, which has resulted in the long-standing prosperity of the Human Democracy into the contemporary era.

The economy of the Human Democracy is highly advanced, integrated, and extremely diverse. As humanity encompasses many billions of stars, nearly every service, good, and item within the Democracy derives from itself. The highly self sufficient Democracy also relies heavily upon robotics and intelligence technologies to bolster its goods in such a way that poverty is virtually nonexistent. The medical enhancements and developments of the human population allow the average human to live physically for at least one thousand years, and with the ability to digitize sentient thoughts of humans, humans are virtually immortal in a digital form. As a result of their highly integrated metaphysical technological status through the Mentanet, the human economy is also highly integrated despite the vast territory held by the polity. As the nation is composed of over 1.5 trillion stars and solar systems, there is enough space within the Democracy for every living human being to own around 150 stars a piece, meaning that the total resource amount of Democracy is very extremely high per capita. This is represented through the lavish lifestyles that the majority of humans live in comparison to historical humans who were unable to leave the planet Earth, and thus, even with the free market economy, the poorest of the poor are more than a hundred times physically wealthier than the richest of the rich throughout the majority of human history. This is further amplified by the fact that when digitized, there is no bounds to how much a single human being can posses, as they are metaphysically able to manipulate their perceived environment within the Mentanet. As humans have complete and total control of their physical state of being through metaphysical mental prowess and the manipulation of robots, on a general level, there is no economic interaction outside of the operations of the state, as there is no need for humans to contribute physical work towards the achievement of a goal. Instead, in this society, the most valued and prized people are those with the extreme mental talents of creative thinking, scientific thinking, or mathematical thinking.

The Human Democracy maintains neutral and positive relations with the members of the Superclusteral Council, as many give a great amount of respect to the human ability to succeed in their environment without interference from another sentient species. As humanity is fulfilled within its own borders that are recognized as their own sovereign territory by the Council, the international intergalactic polities allow the Human Democracy to exist in peace and relative isolation. As the Democracy is fully self sufficient within its own borders, its government does not see any reason to maintain strong diplomatic relations with other nations, and as a result, on an intergalactic level, the Human Democracy is almost entirely neutral. The country is a member of the Superclusteral Council and the Superclusteral Free Trade Agreement.
