The Commonwealth of WARDEN DRAKE is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 13.573 billion WARDEN DRAKEians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 28.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped WARDEN DRAKEian economy, worth 426 trillion Darkspawn Kill Points 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. 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 31,398 Darkspawn Kill Points, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Innocent defendants often plead guilty for fear of receiving a much harsher sentence before jury, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down. Crime is totally unknown. WARDEN DRAKE's national animal is the Warden, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

WARDEN DRAKE is ranked 50,967^th in the world and 3^rd in Killer Keem for Most Cultured, scoring 71 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
