The Federal Social Republic of Drennicka is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by the Federal Executive Policy Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.217 billion Drenns are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Banvitus. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Drennish economy, worth a remarkable 3,326 trillion Linbecks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 251,666 Linbecks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Banvitus for fear of causing a fuss, the Drennicka Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', snap elections are called over every minor impasse, and television executives are interested in turning the Federal Executive Policy Council's zany home life into a sitcom. Crime is totally unknown. Drennicka's national animal is the Seal Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Drennicka is ranked 6,119^th in the world and 4^th in The Social Liberal Union for Highest Average Incomes, with 251,666.45 Standard Monetary Units.
