The Environment of Drakes Beach is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The National Park Service with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 19.227 billion Drakes Beachians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Bonfire. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Drakes Beachian economy, worth a remarkable 3,823 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 mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 198,886 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank, the government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits, the weather in The Bonfire is always 'pigeons with a chance of droppings', and humpback whales that venture near secret military bases are routinely executed for espionage. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drakes Beach's national animal is the humpback whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Paganism.

Drakes Beach is ranked 290,552^nd in the world and 2^nd in Point Reyes National Seashore for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -27.28 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
