The Federal Republic of Draksund is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 240 million Draksundians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government prioritizes Healthcare, with Education, Administration, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 51.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Draksundian economy, worth 11.8 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,103 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In coastal waters there are fifteen salvage divers per dead man's chest (yo ho ho), Draksundians refer to transgender people with insults instead of pronouns, vital intelligence-gathering activities are often put on hold for Call of Honor tournaments, and a paperwork error has naval privateers being directed to attack land-locked nations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Draksund's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Draksund is ranked 212,315^th in the world and 241^st in Shiseballs for Most Patriotic, with 5.53 flags saluted per person per day.
