The Federal Social Republic of Drennicka is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by the Federal Executive Policy Council with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.345 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 3,397 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 254,564 Linbecks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every workday begins with group therapy, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions, and companies struggle to cover for the hordes of employees on parental leave. Crime is totally unknown. Drennicka's national animal is the Seal Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Drennicka is ranked 49,466^th in the world and 18^th in The Social Liberal Union for Highest Drug Use, scoring 278.47 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
