The Dominion of Drystar is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, national health service, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 39.381 billion Drystarians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drystar City. The average income tax rate is 67.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Drystarian economy, worth a remarkable 7,186 trillion dockets a year, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 182,489 dockets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The well-to-do in the South Pacific are never on time for important appointments, 'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Drystarian Space Agency, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, and passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Drystar's national animal is the red hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Drystar is ranked 1,517^th in the world and 41^st in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 884.66 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
