The Dominion of Drystar is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its public floggings, vat-grown people, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 35.151 billion Drystarians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drystar City. The average income tax rate is 35.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Drystarian economy, worth a remarkable 5,814 trillion dockets a year, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 165,412 dockets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm, satellite images show safe electoral constituencies in complete darkness, the entire entry for Drystar in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', and a degree in Leader Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Drystar's national animal is the red hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Drystar is ranked 62,754^th in the world and 1,638^th in the South Pacific for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 210,783 Standard Monetary Units.
