The Community of Dreira is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by The Hive with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 772 million Dreirans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Acosall. The average income tax rate is 75.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dreiran economy, worth 86.7 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 112,310 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why The Hive is a silly poophead, citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, and students learn how to disarm mines before understanding basic arithmetic. Crime is totally unknown. Dreira's national animal is the wildcat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dreira is ranked 199,197^th in the world and 227^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring zero on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
