The Borderlands of Drakmah is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Fearless leader with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 22.058 billion Drakmahans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prothroria. The average income tax rate is 81.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Drakmahian economy, worth a remarkable 2,626 trillion Ixians 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 119,080 Ixians, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war, death row is annually emptied to feed the nation's hunger for televised murder-games, protestors are soaking piles of Ixians in blood to make a point about government incomes, and the Drakmah Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drakmah's national animal is the Keshet, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Drakmah is ranked 18,696^th in the world and 1^st in Clockwork for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,441.46 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
