The Republic of Drue is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6 million Drueans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Education and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The strong Druean economy, worth 384 billion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 64,050 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 407,511 per year while the poor average 4,158, a ratio of 98.0 to 1.

Genetic researchers have been expelled, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and escalators are avoided at all costs. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Drue's national animal is the kangaroo, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Drue is ranked 115,611^th in the world and 35^th in Lesbian for Highest Average Incomes, with 64,050.56 Standard Monetary Units.
