The Confederacy of Dravanian Communes is a huge, genial nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 655 million Dravanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Dravanian economy, worth 4.20 trillion Ducats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Average income is 6,410 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dravanian Communes's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dravanian Communes is ranked 208,413^th in the world and 808^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 172.5 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
