The Federation of Dragovian is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.357 billion Dragovianians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government is primarily concerned with Healthcare, with Education, Defense, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 57.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Dragovianian economy, worth 175 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,268 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Dragovian's heavy congestion charges are the bane of motorists' lives, Leader lights cigars with a hundred-mark bill, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, and traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dragovian's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dragovian is ranked 42,195^th in the world and 1,262^nd in the South Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 41.14 quips per hour.
