The Empire of Drientin is a very large, safe nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, soft-spoken computers, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 337 million Drientinians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 29.7%.

The strong Drientinian economy, worth 28.5 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, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. Average income is 84,641 Krans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

War vets look after war animals, funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, military officials are questioning the policy of ceding the nation's territory in exchange for promises not to invade it, and prosecutors are tucked into bed by the household police officer. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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 78,766^th in the world and 103^rd in Horizon for Most Corrupt Governments, with 24.73 kickbacks per hour.
