The Borderlands of Invan Drader is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 20 million Invan Draderians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Invan Draderian economy, worth 204 billion baht 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, Soda Sales, and Trout Farming. 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 10,218 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Invan Drader's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Invan Drader is ranked 187,757^th in the world and 1^st in Hendarxian Puppet Storage for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 305.42 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
