The Kurosite People's Republic of Dra-pol is a behemoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Director Hotan with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, strictly enforced bedtime, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 50.386 billion Drapoel are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Healthcare, Social Policy, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Da'Khiem. The income tax rate is 100%.

The all-consuming Drapoel economy, worth an astonishing 28,931 trillion units of manifest labours 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, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 a breathtaking 574,206 units of manifest labours, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The moral worth of national allies is judged by their GDP, foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election", the entire entry for Dra-pol in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', and the might of the entire Drapoel Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Dra-pol's national animal is the Horror of the Deep, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kurosite Thought.

Dra-pol is ranked 323,365^th in the world and 10^th in A Modern World for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -266 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
