The Cooperative Commonwealth of Dracran Bat is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Arthur Hughes with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 18.317 billion Dracran Batians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neuhal. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Dracran Batian economy, worth a remarkable 2,867 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 156,555 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Edutainment video games are taking Dracran Bat's students to the next level, chess players with pacemakers and cochlear implants are treated with suspicion, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, and decades-serving politicians are now both out of touch and out of time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dracran Bat's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Dracran Bat is ranked 6,713^th in the world and 13^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 495.18 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
