The Imperial Galactic Theocracy of Wardrop is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by General Wardrop with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, parental licensing program, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.449 billion Wardroppians 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, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wardrop. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Wardropian economy, worth a remarkable 2,303 trillion Imperial Wardroppian Credits 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. 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 an amazing 272,579 Imperial Wardroppian Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A surprisingly large share of the nation's budget is used to buy new houses for immigrants, gift baskets often contain working nukes, getting your license is a rite of passage for young adults, and the WBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wardrop's national animal is the Wardroppian War Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Holy Church of Wardrop.

Wardrop is ranked 236,522^nd in the world and 389^th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 2,453.22 Standard Monetary Units.
