The Dictatorship of DrakeYVL is a small, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 40 million DrakeYVLians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The very strong DrakeYVLian economy, worth 2.42 trillion OVO coins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Average income is 60,531 OVO coins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 320,302 per year while the poor average 6,066, a ratio of 52.8 to 1.

Same-sex marriages are increasingly common, watching shooting stars is DrakeYVLians' number two favorite pastime, beggars on the street are often heard asking for spare votes, and citizens often ask "what has information technology ever done for us?". Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. DrakeYVL's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

DrakeYVL is ranked 314,366^th in the world and 1,118^th in Concord for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -6.32 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
