The Interstellar Empire of Drawkland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Iarocav with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, ubiquitous missile silos, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cheerful, devout population of 23.179 billion Drawkians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Metropolon. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Drawkian economy, worth an astonishing 10,690 trillion lolads a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 461,201 lolads, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has cautiously opted to support women's suffrage, reporters sent to cover suspected UFO visits come back with stories about quilting bees, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, and dancing with your first cousin is a misdemeanor. Crime is totally unknown. Drawkland's national animal is the Drawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sonicrism.

Drawkland is ranked 11,633rd in the world and 5th in Sonnel for Lowest Crime Rates, with 98.36 law-abiding acts per hour.
