The Principality of Drakenden is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Princeps with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.17 billion Drakendenizens hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Citadel of Drakenden. The average income tax rate is 81.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Drakendenian economy, worth 465 trillion Draschens a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 146,762 Draschens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point, Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Citadel of Drakenden to enjoy their national art, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, and military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Drakenden's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnus.

Drakenden is ranked 10,643^rd in the world and 369^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 414.01 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
