The Ascendancy of Draos is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Basileus Daniel Sainz with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 3.007 billion Draosians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orion. The average income tax rate is 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Draosian economy, worth 343 trillion Druggats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 114,320 Druggats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Judicial torture is outsourced overseas, sections of the police receive paramilitary training, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, and East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Draos's national animal is the Kryat Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Olympianism.

Draos is ranked 100,556^th in the world and 52^nd in Union of Free Nations for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 176.49 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
