The Galactic Trade Conglomerate of PapaDracky is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by King CREAM with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 20.607 billion Drackonians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Environment and Law & Order not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tower of Consumption. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient PapaDrackyian economy, worth an astonishing 14,650 trillion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 710,947 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 6,659,177 per year while the poor average 6,394, a ratio of 1,041 to 1.

Exports of chewing gum are inexplicably falling, pet rocks are sold by the pound, the CEO of Laws Incorporated must sign off on all new bills, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, probably because of the absence of a police force. PapaDracky's national animal is the Elcor, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Profitism.

PapaDracky is ranked 313,274th in the world and 4th in Papastan for Most Beautiful Environments, with 0.45 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
