The Cooperative Commonwealth of Dracran Bat is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Arthur Hughes with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 18.381 billion Dracran Batians 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, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neuhal. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Dracran Batian economy, worth a remarkable 2,878 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 156,601 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Decades-serving politicians are now both out of touch and out of time, scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered, mosh pits are a common phenomenon in Arthur Hughes's political rallies, and doctors are learning that red tape makes ineffective bandages. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dracran Bat's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Dracran Bat is ranked 1,306^th in the world and 7^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Safest, scoring 152.21 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
