The Holy Empire of Drambenburg is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Giorg Auster-Brautstadt with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 8.782 billion Drambenburgians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lerbin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The powerhouse Drambenburgian economy, worth 898 trillion Drambenburgian Rupees a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an impressive 102,282 Drambenburgian Rupees, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 301,108 per year while the poor average 27,351, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

More and more people are signing up for the government party, wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, both criminals and civilians are DOA, and pootling steam trains carry delighted tourists and frustrated businessmen from city to city at a snail's pace. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Drambenburg's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Presbyterian.

Drambenburg is ranked 92,497^th in the world and 38^th in Coalition of Crown Albatross for Most Corrupt Governments, with 15.72 kickbacks per hour.
