The Federal Republic of Dredia is a very large, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 294 million Dredians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caldemar. The average income tax rate is 57.2%.

The very strong Dredian economy, worth 26.0 trillion Drens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,384 Drens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Signs stating "You Must be This Tall to Enter" have started appearing outside retirement homes, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, and dozens of viewers go online to hear whether a comma has been added to Clause 5 in Subsection B of Law 58375. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dredia's national animal is the Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dredia is ranked 116,007^th in the world and 45^th in Union of Allied States for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,649 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
