The People's Republic of Dresderstan is a titanic, cultured nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 14.558 billion Dresderstanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aventador. The average income tax rate is 32.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dresderstanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,817 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,811 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The armed forces have declassified their next-generation document shredder, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, televisions are often seized to pay for overdue television license fees, and Dresderstanian companies generally just fire employees in lieu of giving them vacation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dresderstan's national animal is the Hawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Dresderstan is ranked 57,829^th in the world and 3,443^rd in Balder for Longest Average Lifespans, with 81.5 years.
