The Interstellar Empire of Drawkland is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Iarocav with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, public floggings, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 17.006 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 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Drawkian economy, worth a remarkable 7,878 trillion lolads a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 463,278 lolads, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Accusations of corruption stick when the accused are long-gone, gun-wielding criminals always wear appropriate eye and ear protection, the nation has become a pariah for giving pirates letters of marque, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime is totally unknown. Drawkland's national animal is the Drawk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sonicrism.

Drawkland is ranked 1,541^st in the world and 3^rd in Sonnel for Most Armed, with 17.47 Weapons Per Person.
