The Kingdom of Druznia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by King Vasily II with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 19.798 billion Druznians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tsentrgrad. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Druznian economy, worth a remarkable 4,108 trillion new rubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 207,539 new rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, the government has an entire department dedicated to staring at microscopes and writing down letters, the police think a properly conducted criminal investigation is a real pain, and most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Druznia's national animal is the Ussuri brown bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodoxy.

Druznia is ranked 4,341^st in the world and 77^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 600.43 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
