The Island of Drang is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Durk Drang with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 30.957 billion Drangians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sturm. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.7%.

The powerhouse Drangian economy, worth a remarkable 1,273 trillion Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 41,124 Marks, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have recently been reintroduced to Drang, computers are used primarily for word processing and solitaire, Drang-made cars tend to catch fire in people's driveways, and Durk Drang has just been declared ruler of Drang in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Drang's national animal is the pig, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Drangas.

Drang is ranked 178,561^st in the world and 1^st in SolarFlare for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 24.72 Effective Tax Rate.
