The Holy Red Corpo-Paradise of Drachover is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.396 billion Drachoverians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Industry, with Administration, Defense, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hell's Quarter. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Drachoverian economy, worth 684 trillion mountain dew caps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 201,622 mountain dew caps, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,079,084 per year while the poor average 19,727, a ratio of 54.7 to 1.

This summer's chart-toppers sound almost the same as last year's, high school career advisors advise belligerent loners to consider vigilantism, East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', and Catherine Gratwick's campaign support is considered seminal. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Drachover's national animal is the lowland duke, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Corporatist Evangelism.

Drachover is ranked 9,534th in the world and 19th in Thaecia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 417.69 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
