The Dominion of Drystar is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, anti-smoking policies, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 32.429 billion Drystarians 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, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drystar City. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Drystarian economy, worth a remarkable 5,119 trillion dockets a year, is fairly diversified and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 157,862 dockets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, it is popularly believed that "cheese every day keeps disaster away", five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, and many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Drystar's national animal is the red hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Drystar is ranked 5,607^th in the world and 180^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 13,859.02 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
