The Imperial Galactic Theocracy of Wardrop is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by General Wardrop with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, parental licensing program, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.5 billion Wardroppians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wardrop. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Wardropian economy, worth a remarkable 2,325 trillion Imperial Wardroppian Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 273,571 Imperial Wardroppian Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gift baskets often contain working nukes, getting your license is a rite of passage for young adults, the WBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays, and military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wardrop's national animal is the Wardroppian War Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Holy Church of Wardrop.

Wardrop is ranked 8,424^th in the world and 43^rd in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 1,754.4 Tourists Per Hour.
