The Empire of Drakstor is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 720 million Drakstorians 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, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vastoria. The average income tax rate is 28.7%.

The thriving Drakstorian economy, worth 65.3 trillion Drakars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,647 Drakars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, children as young as eight can present logical proofs for the existence of the afterlife, and ticket touts are blamed for the downfall of communism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drakstor's national animal is the Imperial Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Drakstor is ranked 216,909^th in the world and 627^th in Concord for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -4.47 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
