The Imperial Galactic Theocracy of Wardrop is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by General Dredgon Wardrop with an iron fist, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, parental licensing program, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.296 billion Wardroppians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wardrop. The income tax rate is 100.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Wardropian economy, worth a remarkable 6,185 trillion Imperial Wardroppian Credits 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. 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 304,759 Imperial Wardroppian Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Street cleaners are noticeably glum during jubilee celebrations, every computer glitch triggers an immediate counter-espionage response, colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, and pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wardrop's national animal is the Wardroppian War Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Holy Church of Wardrop.

Wardrop is ranked 4,751^st in the world and 2^nd in Anime Nations Against Liberals for Most Cultured, scoring 163 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
