The Armed Republic of Drink is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical population of 473 million Drinkians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.0%.

The strong Drinkian economy, worth 23.1 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 48,826 deniers, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 304,144 per year while the poor average 3,352, a ratio of 90.7 to 1.

Crime is a problem. Drink's national animal is the turtle, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Drink is ranked 188,285^th in the world and 757^th in Concord for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 900.07 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
