The Kingdom of Grod Dratia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Terren Lung with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cheerful population of 2.566 billion Grod Dratians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Styria. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Grod Dratian economy, worth 326 trillion leis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,430 leis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance, videogames like 'Equalia: Knights of Self-Confidence' are proving inexplicably unpopular, Terren Lung tells rebellious ministers to "drop and give me twenty", and the television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grod Dratia's national animal is the Gerbil, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Cult of Cthulu.

Grod Dratia is ranked 7,044th in the world and 178th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 108.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
