The Federal Republic of Dredia is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 300 million Dredians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caldemar. The average income tax rate is 58.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Dredian economy, worth 27.2 trillion Drens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,721 Drens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The latest superhero movie features a caped Panther with adamantium claws, workers have their fruitcake and eat it too, it is often said that only Leader could bring down Dàguó, and the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dredia's national animal is the Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dredia is ranked 49,024^th in the world and 36^th in Union of Allied States for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,980.53 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
