The High-Rising Metropolis of Drientin is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Godfather with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 797 million Drientinians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Realé. The average income tax rate is 59.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Drientinian economy, worth 100 trillion Krans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 126,425 Krans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Elite teams of assassins have been sent into Brasilistan, dancing with your first cousin is a misdemeanor, the armed forces have designated 'murder teams' that root out rebels in Brasilistan, and top universities admit students based on how often they correct interviewers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drientin's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Drientin is ranked 125,300^th in the world and 358^th in Horizon for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,157.3 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
