The National Republic of Draksistan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Emergency Council with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.784 billion Draksistanis 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roheran. The average income tax rate is 68.0%.
The very strong Draksistanian economy, worth 285 trillion Malors a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 75,498 Malors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.
Agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government, park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets, a crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun, and souvenir shops that sell alphorns are taking advantage of gullible tourists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Draksistan's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.
Draksistan is ranked 258,488th in the world and 8,437th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 15.92149675468 days.
