The Kingdom of Grod Dratia is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Terren Lung with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cheerful population of 7.728 billion Grod Dratians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Styria. The average income tax rate is 87.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Grod Dratian economy, worth a remarkable 1,317 trillion leis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 170,432 leis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Grod Dratians any less frightened, Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Grod Dratian officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, and the law forbids arson, murder, and low-quality cheese. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grod Dratia's national animal is the Gerbil, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Cult of Cthulu.

Grod Dratia is ranked 2,995^th in the world and 70^th in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 213 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
