The Holy Empire of Drokea is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Lilith with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, frequent executions, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.768 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 Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Khaaling. The average income tax rate is 93.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Drokean economy, worth a remarkable 1,032 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, Retail, and Uranium Mining. 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 373,118 souls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

The dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, and relations with Merovingia are as cold as Drokea's skill with the blade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable 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 22,334th in the world and 16th in Hell for Most Developed, scoring 86.11 on the Human Development Index.
