The Cooperative Commonwealth of Dracran Bat is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Arthur Hughes with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 13.174 billion Dracran Batians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neuhal. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Dracran Batian economy, worth a remarkable 1,983 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 150,575 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Being Arthur Hughes has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, Super Barry Brothers is the most popular video game in the nation, and conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dracran Bat's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Dracran Bat is ranked 290,933^rd in the world and 205^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -33.7 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
