The Commonwealth of Draphloth is a huge, genial nation, notable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 717 million Achorias love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gran Corvion City. The average income tax rate is 38.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Achorian economy, worth 70.9 trillion Gears a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,892 Gears, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects, it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, the drive to dismantle public transport has crashed and burned, and most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Draphloth's national animal is the Crow, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Draphloth is ranked 278,141^st in the world and 9^th in Bethsaida for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 23.1 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
