The Kingdom of Grod Dratia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Terren Lung with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 2.681 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 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Grod Dratian economy, worth 341 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 127,535 leis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach, science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, anyone who sneezes at border crossings is turned away, and owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation. 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 2,488th in the world and 52nd in The East Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 3,773.64 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
