The Holy Empire of Drokea is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Lilith with an iron fist, and renowned for its flagrant waste-dumping, frequent executions, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.911 billion Drokeans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Khaaling. The average income tax rate is 94.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Drokean economy, worth a remarkable 1,176 trillion souls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 404,282 souls, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,238,769 per year while the poor average 102,132, a ratio of 12.1 to 1.

Children are brutally beaten for saying gyatt and skibidi, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the triumph of the Khaaling Piranhas against long odds, and colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Drokean Liberator". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drokea's national animal is the piranha, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Holy Flame.

Drokea is ranked 331,252nd in the world and 175th in Hell for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 8.62 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
