As a few of you might have noticed, a new country, Drabantia (formerly UL108e), appeared on the map. Let me tell you something about my intentions with it.

Climate and geography

Drabantia is an underachiever in terms of geography. The highest mountain is going to be 1500 m tall at most, the lowest point the lake (I’ll consent on that with the neighbouring countries.) The climate is going to be Kopper Dfb, again not breaking any records.

Population

Drabantia is an underachiever in terms of population, too. The total inhabitant count is not going to reach 5,000,000 people. (Edit: It actually did, the final population I’m going for is 5,390,000.) The largest city will have 200,000 inhabitants at most (part because I don’t like large, crowded cities and part because I’m lazy.)

Wealth

While not the most wealthy country, Drabantia maintains a high standard of living.

Politics

Politics in Drabantia are boring. There is not much happening, the government is center-liberal and left-leaning since, like, 1850.

International relations

Drabantia is irrelevant and rarely gets to throw its 2¢ in on international level. However, that’s also the reason it has never been threatened or invaded: because no one really cares about it.

The country is open to all international relations, though. Just message me if you want to trade embassies!

Resources and industry

Thanks to the government infiltrated by the Green Party, the few natural resources Drabantia has are rather unexploited. It’s not like they’re anything very valuable anyway: the major ones include granite, clay and glass sand.

Drabantia is an industrial country. If you don’t mind the strict environmental rules, you can open a bussiness in there too: just message me (and wait till like, october, I’ll have designed some industrial and retail areas by then hopefully).

Greatest achievements and inventions

The following are things Drabantians are proud of:

• Contact lenses
• Press freedom
• Potato pies
