The Democratic Republic of Drvonia is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.106 billion Drvonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 17.5%.

The all-consuming Drvonian economy, worth 93.0 trillion Drvons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 84,085 Drvons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Both illness and poverty are seen as signs of low moral worth, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop, and the nation was recently voted as the most stylish in the South Pacific. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Drvonia's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Drvonia is ranked 97,585^th in the world and 3,593^rd in the South Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 33.36 quips per hour.
