The Catholic Sub-Empire of Drapan is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.322 billion Drapanese live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Education is also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The thriving Drapanese economy, worth 137 trillion yen a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 59,370 yen, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Economists confusingly list "fusarium rot and leaf blight" as major risk factors for monetary deflation, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls, and the Drapan City Women's Prison Choir now has a baritone section. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Drapan's national animal is the koi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Drapan is ranked 309,989^th in the world and 28^th in Dhrilippine Empire for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 6.47 Effective Tax Rate.
