The Democratic Republic of Kragdetvan is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Erik Seppä with a fair hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, unlimited-speed roads, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 13.952 billion Kragdetvanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Glavader. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Kragdetvanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,476 trillion Danwoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 105,840 Danwoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Left-wing militias train children how to properly burn down banks, the news is showing footage of Erik Seppä bullying an old man to the point of tears, the Kragdetvanian football team for the Maxxmas ceasefire consists only of Intelligence Corps personnel, and the government prides itself on being smug and condescending to idiots. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kragdetvan's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kragdetvan is ranked 4,111^th in the world and 218^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 133.96 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
