The Empire of Great Dragunovia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Charles III with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.63 billion Dragunovians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dragunovia. The average income tax rate is 72.9%.

The powerhouse Dragunovian economy, worth 271 trillion Euromarks a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 103,102 Euromarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Governments opposing Great Dragunovia are beset by rebels, Maxtopians are both starving and giddy after the Dragunovian military unleashed its biological weapons, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, and Great Dragunovia Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Dragunovia's national animal is the Imperial Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Great Dragunovia is ranked 50,063^rd in the world and 84^th in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,587.16 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
