The Republic of Dragistal is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, vat-grown people, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 302 million Dragistalians 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 Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haxiir. The average income tax rate is 72.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Dragistali economy, worth 20.4 trillion Guilds a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,673 Guilds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others, citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, and a ban on robots in disguise has transformed the entertainment industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dragistal's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Dragistal is ranked 95,351^st in the world and 1^st in The Dragon Plains for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,225.44 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
