The Allied Socialist States of Dratrium is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Salla Mideur with an even hand, and renowned for its digital currency, soft-spoken computers, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 19.616 billion Dratriumians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ostia. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Dratriumian economy, worth a remarkable 2,966 trillion Denarii a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 151,204 Denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

AI chess masters play the Bongcloud opening to mock their human opponents, pregnant women get a lot of evil glares from fellow passengers when leaving the country, mandatory updates on software drivers often bring life to a halt, and cars speed down national highways while drivers sleep at the wheel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dratrium's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Dratrium is ranked 8,212^th in the world and 1^st in Kyodeia for Nicest Citizens, with 35.15 average smiles per day.
