The Watchfires of Dres-1 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, prohibition of alcohol, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 16.137 billion Dres-1ians 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 relatively small, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.4%.

The powerhouse Dres-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,313 trillion $$s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,400 $$s, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 407,410 per year while the poor average 9,134, a ratio of 44.6 to 1.

Cowboys often wear wolfskin jackets to the saloon, collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, there's more pink stuff on sale these days, and the national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dres-1's national animal is the Death's-head hawkmoth.

Dres-1 is ranked 7,437th in the world and 1st in Dresden for Most Stationary, with 2,710.4445847588 days.
