The Ukraine of Drenense is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Danylo Kosenko with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 3.471 billion Ukrainians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyiv. The average income tax rate is 79.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Drenensean economy, worth 108 trillion Ukrainian hryvnias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 31,243 Ukrainian hryvnias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

President Danylo Kosenko has just been declared ruler of Drenense in an international press conference, military information leaks are **REDACTED** by **REDACTED** in **REDACTED**, the children of Drenense are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, and Orthodox Christianity has been named as Drenense's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drenense's national animal is the None, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Drenense is ranked 27,720^th in the world and 23^rd in Geopolity for Most Beautiful Environments, with 865.94 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
