The Armed Republic of Drakkengard is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Heinrich von Drakken with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 12.227 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Social Equality and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining.

Tourists outnumber citizens two to one, internet service is too costly for normal people to purchase, ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, and private business has started paving paradises and putting up parking lots. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Drakkengard's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Gald.

Drakkengard is ranked 2,743rd in The East Pacific and 75,433rd in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 15 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
