The Holy Empire of Dreanger

The Holy Empire of Dreanger is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate population of 287 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 88%, and even higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

History

Dreanger recently suffered from a massive civil war, between the Dreangerian Liberation Front (DLF) and the government. There was also a power struggle for the throne after the emperor was assasinated. Towards the twilight of the war, the government seemed on the brink of annhilating the DLF, when it turned out that the Prime Minister was really the head of the DLF. The DLF then laid waste to most of the Parliament, excepting a few individuals, who were allowed asylum in the New Holy Empire of Dreanger, led by Achilles IV. Unsubstantiated rumours state that the heir apparent, Julian II leads a revolution in the land controlled by the DLF. Dreanger and Duquadland almost came to blows after some unfortunate misunderstandings on both sides. Dreanger released information on a plot by the military to overthrow the government of Duquadland, believing it to be widespread knowledge by then. Dreanger also resented Duquadland for using its civil war as partial leverage for reviving SITO, by witholding any agreements for aid until SITO was revived. Wilkenstan was able to prevent any escalating hostilities by setting up both the League of Paris(region-wide alliance) and the MTO(Mediterranean Treaty Organization).
