The Sacred Trolls of Ordo Drakul is a colossal, devout nation, ruled by Voivode Bruno with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 9.023 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt individuals juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Book Publishing.

A study has shown that many parents are too embarrassed to teach their children sex education, the government has enacted freedom of information, referenda are held for every conceivable government action, and traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways. Crime is crippling. Ordo Drakul's national animal is the glass spider, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Cult of Darkness, and its currency is the leaden bolg.

Ordo Drakul is ranked 1st in Pamaltela and 100,177th in the world for Happiest Citizens, scoring -2 on the Relative Cheerfulness Rating.
