The Holy Empire of Drokea is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Lilith with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, state-planned economy, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.844 billion Drokeans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Khaaling. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Drokean economy, worth a remarkable 1,128 trillion souls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 396,671 souls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The number of judges has tripled in recent months, bands of paramedics walk the streets looking for suspicious medical activity, civil engineers are undermining sinkholes, and adults have never outgrown their fear of monsters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drokea's national animal is the piranha, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Holy Flame.

Drokea is ranked 13,239th in the world and 20th in Hell for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,559.78 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
