The Republic of Dralau is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.112 billion Dralauans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The strong Dralauan economy, worth 133 trillion rubles a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 63,006 rubles, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 388,134 per year while the poor average 4,451, a ratio of 87.2 to 1.

Organ donation is compulsory, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and elderly tribespeople die in bed surrounded by loved ones and linguists. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Dralau's national animal is the tiger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Dralau is ranked 11,785^th in the world and 5^th in Free Non Imperial Nations for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 8,268.92 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
