The Duchy of Dreux is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Robert IX with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 25.229 billion Dreuxians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dreux. The average income tax rate is 55.6%.

The strong Dreuxian economy, worth 823 trillion francs a year, is highly specialized and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 32,643 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Dreux has designated Dreux as its capital city, abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, Robert IX has just been declared ruler of Dreux in an international press conference, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Dreux's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dreux's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Dreux is ranked 192,792^nd in the world and 56^th in Cities for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring zero on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
