The Kingdom of Grod Dratia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Terren Lung with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 2.637 billion Grod Dratians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Styria. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Grod Dratian economy, worth 337 trillion leis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,104 leis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals, the general public only knows their favorite politician's first name, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, and citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grod Dratia's national animal is the Gerbil, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Cult of Cthulu.

Grod Dratia is ranked 283,232nd in the world and 4,941st in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -13.22 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
