The Genetically Altered Species of Drahks
"Drahks" is a nation without an actual name. As the title implies, "drahks" are the people, not the nation. They are genetically superior to humans in every way and nigh-unkillable, but their behavior and appearance is much the same. Although, due to superior intelligence, stuff such as racism, drunk driving, and blind loyalty are non-existant. The drahks are most known for their enforced capitolism.
Government
The government of the nation is correctly classified as a "Compulsory Consumerist State". Although there's much more to it than just that. Like A_Bians and Skuzzsockers, drahks aren't too fond of UN surveyers and the government frequently has them executed. The government is also known to do many other things that A_B and Skuzzsock do which the UN veiws as corrupt.
Tourists are freely allowed, although "immigrants" are forced through the no-man's-land surrounding the nation. None have ever survived it as of yet.
Military
The drahks are big on defence. In fact, this is their biggest concern. Being an inland nation with a hovering sky platform above they only ever bother with a ground army. They do sometimes experiment with space weapons, however this is only for the purpose of advancing their technological prowess, not for fighting space wars.
Penal system
The penal system is very similar to that of A_B, however it is much more efficient. It is a rare criminal that doesn't get caught. The government isn't too rough on speeders and jay-walkers, but violent criminals, theives, and political activists can expect to be praying for death by the time the government is through with them.
Life in the drahks' nation
There isn't much of what you'd call culture, but, being a new species, their laws and ways of life seem aimed at insurance against their extinction. The laws are fairly libertarian, though not to the point of the nation becoming a civil rights utopia. Stuff such as flag burning and televising sports is illegal, but drugs, protitution, and gambling are not. Many tourists consider the law structer rather strange as a result, many others just argue back that the drahks would veiw conventional laws as strange(which they actually do).
Compulsory consumerism
The drahks believe this is neccessary to keep their economy afloat. In the beginning, they experimented with benevolent dictatorship type laws, but many businesses went out due to lack of demand. To stop this they started mandating that each drahk must spend 25% of their annual income, though many spend a lot more. This also allows the government to rely on sales taxes.
Those defying the laws are pulled from their homes at night and subjected to 8 hours of brainwashing videos. Though the drahks are too smart to be brainwashed and the government knows this, it does have an irritating effect on citizens. Eventually, they become so annoyed from going through this every single night that they cave in and start spending. Some are known to hold out for a while, but even the strongest can't hold on forever.
Enforcement comes from checking this monthly. And so they don't have to spend money every single day. It's largely just seen as a healthy alternative to income tax.
Compulsory military service
While no drahk is ever forced into war, all are expected to at least undergo basic training. This is meant to help prevent terrorist attacks since, if everyone is trained to fight, they know better how to take down a terrorist.
