The Armed Republic of Dreadton is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 751 million Dreadtonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Captains Mast. The average income tax rate is 34.9%.

The powerhouse Dreadtonian economy, worth 80.8 trillion Dabloons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 107,564 Dabloons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, there are no more heroes any more, calling dibs is an unalienable right, and the government blames all suspicious phenomena on flying saucers. Crime is totally unknown. Dreadton's national animal is the Parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Dreadton is ranked 32,414^th in the world and 1,453^rd in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 3,802.74 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
