The Kingdom of Drakein is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Carter with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, digital currency, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.116 billion Drakeinians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carter city. The average income tax rate is 51.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Drakeinian economy, worth 82.9 trillion Drakes a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,258 Drakes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, police spend their Saturday nights breaking up illegal street races, both criminals and civilians are DOA, and advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Drakein's national animal is the Eli, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is ELIISAM.

Drakein is ranked 88,255^th in the world and 2^nd in Empire of Deck for Highest Average Incomes, with 74,258.18 Standard Monetary Units.
