The High-Rising Metropolis of Drientin is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 721 million Drientinians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Realé. The average income tax rate is 55.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Drientinian economy, worth 88.4 trillion Krans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 122,568 Krans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

D-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, Drientinians suffer not the eggplant emoji to live, government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, and from the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in Drientin. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drientin's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Drientin is ranked 25,754^th in the world and 32^nd in Horizon for Most Developed, scoring 84.66 on the Human Development Index.
