The Federal Republic of Dredia is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, parental licensing program, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 327 million Dredians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, 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 60.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Dredian economy, worth 32.7 trillion Drens a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,016 Drens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, college athletes are arrested for selling lemonade, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, and punitive tariffs protect local industry. 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, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dredia is ranked 285,999^th in the world and 86^th in Union of Allied States for Largest Populations, with 327 million capita.
