The Federal Republic of Dredia is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 502 million Dredians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caldemar. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dredian economy, worth 55.4 trillion Drens a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,364 Drens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Advertisers are struggling to make water sound cool to a twitchy public, there's nothing quite like Dredian nightlife, people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces, and the most popular WhoTube videos are ones featuring parodies of iconic songs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dredia's national animal is the Panther.

Dredia is ranked 228,067^th in the world and 39^th in Union of Allied States for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -6 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
