The Strict Democratic Republic of Drask is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Katernya Kovalenko with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.594 billion Draskians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Basin City. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Draskian economy, worth 615 trillion Auroracredits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 93,304 Auroracredits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government has legalised small-scale capitalism, Katernya Kovalenko is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite, and clumsy self-injury is a viable claim in modern compensation culture. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drask's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Drask is ranked 189,071^st in the world and 930^th in the Outback for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -3 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
