The Empire of Dracas

“All hail the Lord Ruler”

Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Empire of Dracas is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Lord Ruler with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.206 billion Dracasians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Divitae Potens. The average income tax rate is 67.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Dracasian economy, worth 252 trillion Daubles a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,518 Daubles, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes, Lord Ruler can cry on demand, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, and racehorses move a lot slower these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dracas's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Steel Church.

Dracas is ranked 12,828^th in the world and 7^th in Declansburg for Most Conservative, scoring 87.92 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
