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.

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.

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 every 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.
