The Cooperative Commonwealth of Dracran Bat is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Arthur Hughes with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 18.474 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 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Dracran Batian economy, worth a remarkable 2,930 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 158,615 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mosh pits are a common phenomenon in Arthur Hughes's political rallies, doctors are learning that red tape makes ineffective bandages, worship days have replaced sick days, and the government single-handedly sustains the bunk bed market. 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 721^st in the world and 6^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Least Corrupt Governments, with 97.97 percentage of bribes refused.
