The Borderlands of Drakonea is a mid-sized, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 62 million Drakoneans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 21.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Drakonean economy, worth 2.46 trillion Drakons a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,703 Drakons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government ministers have eclectic tastes in curtains, the government loves seeing the little people fight, the average video game can be completed over lunch break, and women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Drakonea's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Drakonea is ranked 227,304^th in the world and 130^th in Albastru for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
