The Interstellar Empire of Drawkland is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Iarocav with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cheerful, devout population of 28.025 billion Drawkians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Metropolon. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Drawkian economy, worth an astonishing 12,602 trillion lolads a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 449,704 lolads, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weather forecasts regularly cover meteor showers, advertisers scramble to sponsor the broadcast of Iarocav's most personal functions, the most notorious criminals are given the Consequences of Your Actions Award, and the government guarantees extra-soft tissues to fire-snorting elephants. Crime 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. Drawkland's national animal is the Drawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sonicrism.

Drawkland is ranked 1,634^th in the world and 2^nd in Sonnel for Highest Food Quality, scoring 291.45 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
