The Empire of Dreadmor is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 452 million Dreadmorians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Spirituality, and Public Transport are also considered important. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.7%.

The strong Dreadmorian economy, worth 21.7 trillion Coins a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 48,056 Coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

APCs on school runs disgorge kids via assault ramps, adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears, homosexuality has been banned to prevent the spread of homosexuality, and young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dreadmor's national animal is the Raven, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Dreadmor is ranked 206,488^th in the world and 8^th in World of Lostoria for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.28 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
