The Interstellar Empire of Drawkland is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Iarocav with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 14.974 billion Drawkians 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 Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Metropolon. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Drawkian economy, worth a remarkable 5,674 trillion lolads a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 378,950 lolads, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, "Mad Max: Returning Again to Barrydrome" is this year's unexpected summer blockbuster, it's a long jump to get onto the housing ladder, and government opponents tend to have their patents rejected immediately. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 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 498^th in the world and 1^st in Sonnel for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 13,213.09 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
