The Oppressed Peoples of Drogmar is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Unspeakable One with an iron fist, and renowned for its triple-decker prams, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.293 billion Drogmarians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zeredathath. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Drogmarian economy, worth an astonishing 14,185 trillion blood diamonds 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. 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 a breathtaking 609,012 blood diamonds, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens who become homeless are immediately executed, it is illegal to carry an umbrella when the official weather forecast predicts a sunny day, citizens rise at daybreak every day for mandatory exercise, and police nightsticks see use all day long. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drogmar's national animal is the Horrific Demon of Fear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Philosophic Sufferianism.

Drogmar is ranked 304,709th in the world and 12,832nd in Balder for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
