The Democratic Republic of Drovo is a tiny, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, national health service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 18 million Drovois are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The weak Drovoan economy, worth 437 billion Droes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 24,295 Droes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game, statistics show that terrorists often come from broken families, disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire, and nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drovo's national animal is the Eight Legged Horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Drovo is ranked 234,240^th in the world and 1^st in Nations Alliance for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 5.51 on the Hayek Index.
