The Matriarchy of The Drahven is a very large, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, enforced nudity, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 119 million Drahvenians 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, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 61.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Drahvenian economy, worth 2.66 trillion credits 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 Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 22,352 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, Drahvenians are free from pain - but the side effects include loss of individual thought and freedom, every microwave and toaster is being disassembled and probed by inspectors, and intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Drahven's national animal is the ant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Drahven is ranked 335,380th in the world and 92nd in The Bar on the corner of every region for Smartest Citizens, with 1.17 quips per hour.
