Falkovnia is ruled by Vlad Drakov, a mad tyrant (and former Krynnian mercenary) with a love of impaling as an execution method (an obvious reference to the Wallachian voivode, sometimes known as "Vlad the Impaler", although Drakov also shows echoes of Hitler and Stalin).
Falkovnia produces much of the Core's grain and wheat, which Drakov uses to fund his war machine. As absolute ruler of Falkovnia, everything is his property, including the population, which are branded with the mark of a hawk on their foreheads shortly after birth (perhaps a reference to Italian fascism symbols).
Drakov has attempted to invade Darkon, the vast domain to the north, no less than four times since Falkovnia was formed, and every time his army reached the border, an army of undead creatures rose again to stop them. Every man in Drakov's army who fell rose to fight for Darkon. Four domains around Falkovnia (Borca, Richemulot, Dementlieu, and Mordent) have signed a mutual defense treaty in the event that Drakov invades any of them, although he believes that they are not worth invading, being run by women and fops.
