The Disputed Territories of Draithus is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and frequent executions. The hard-working population of 7 million Draithians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.1%.

The strong Draithusian economy, worth 379 billion guilders a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 54,228 guilders, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

Universities spend millions cultivating ivy on their buildings, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, the death penalty has been reintroduced, and armed security details escort librarians to their homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Draithus's national animal is the cobra.

Draithus is ranked 244,861^st in the world and 1,345^th in the Outback for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 16.08 Effective Tax Rate.
