The Confederacy of Dragolif is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by The Ultimate Supreme autocrat Farage with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.942 billion Dragolifians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of draco. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dragolifian economy, worth 553 trillion dragoes 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 Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. 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 93,115 dragoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The news is showing footage of The Ultimate Supreme autocrat Farage bullying an old man to the point of tears, would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, and twice-daily toilet inspection rotas for government buildings are archived for public appraisal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dragolif's national animal is the space turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is dragolinicism.

Dragolif is ranked 35,081^st in the world and 804^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 196.81 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
