The Democratic Republic of Drask is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Katernya Kovalenko with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.497 billion Draskians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Basin City. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Draskian economy, worth 609 trillion Auroracredits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 93,768 Auroracredits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is stuck in permanent election mode as politicians demand constant do-overs, the government has legalised small-scale capitalism, Katernya Kovalenko is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, and diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drask's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Drask is ranked 262,914^th in the world and 1,278^th in the Outback for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 25,786.21 Standard Monetary Units.
