The Free Equines of Draft Horses is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Boxer with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 10.08 billion Draft Horsesians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Equinius. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Draft Horsesian economy, worth 887 trillion oats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 88,024 oats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Research grant proposals read like political diatribes, factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections, Scrabble champions have been left scrambling for scraps, and kilts and cassocks are viewed with suspicion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Draft Horses's national animal is the farmer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is animalism.

Draft Horses is ranked 76,202nd in the world and 10th in Paradise Farm for Most Developed, scoring 68.66 on the Human Development Index.
