The Imperial Empire of Drekamythia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Havok Agamemnon with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 17.598 billion Drekamythians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperius. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Drekamythian economy, worth a remarkable 2,548 trillion Imperial Denars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 144,839 Imperial Denars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 608,142 per year while the poor average 22,418, a ratio of 27.1 to 1.

Lumberjacks only use certified eco-friendly chainsaws, going on a diet invalidates your passport, squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal, and public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drekamythia's national animal is the Turronian Wyvern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Drekanity.

Drekamythia is ranked 16,804th in the world and 5th in Esvanovia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 8,753.73 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
