Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Empire of Dredger is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Eliakim with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 1.1 billion Dredgerians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dravisia. The average income tax rate is 44.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Dredgerian economy, worth 52.6 trillion Erouses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Gambling, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,819 Erouses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Grandiose stage parents insist superyachts and private cinemas are children's basic needs, almost every singles' party has a clergy and courtesans theme, 4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail, and student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned Lionball fields. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dredger's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Dredger is ranked 71,464^th in the world and 3^rd in Pleadrotta for Safest, scoring 94.56 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
