The Red Swarm of Taustrian Drones is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 1.351 billion Taustrian Drone Operators are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 39.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Taustrian Dronesian economy, worth 15.0 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 11,097 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taustrian Drones's national animal is the cobra.

Taustrian Drones is ranked 164,613^th in the world and 2^nd in Antifascist Airport 312 for Largest Black Market, with 915 billion Standard Monetary Units.
