The Republic of Dragistal is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 448 million Dragistalians 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 Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haxiir. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Dragistali economy, worth 35.9 trillion Guilds a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,053 Guilds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects, the saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work", and contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dragistal's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Dragistal is ranked 95,532^nd in the world and 2^nd in The Dragon Plains for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,091.38 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
