The Cheesy Republic of Cliyf Drines is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Elder Putz with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 20.876 billion Cliyf Drinesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maple Town. The average income tax rate is 81.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cliyf Drinesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,817 trillion Canadian Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 134,979 Canadian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, party affiliation is just as irrelevant as campaign promises, virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, and children who refuse to share their crayons are arrested. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cliyf Drines's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Cliyf Drines is ranked 324,316^th in the world and 146^th in Canada for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -12.23 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
