The People's Republic of Dragging is a small, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 45 million Draggingians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 54.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Draggingian economy, worth 1.09 trillion Frees 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. 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 24,249 Frees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies, royalist is the most offensive slur in the Draggingian language, people are bored of easy crossword puzzles, and 3D printed organs are a breath of new life for the sick and elderly. Crime is totally unknown. Dragging's national animal is the Wombat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dragging is ranked 133,173^rd in the world and 301^st in Refugia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,434.62 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
