The Federal Social Republic of Drennicka is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Federal Executive Policy Council with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.289 billion Drenns 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 enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Banvitus. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Drennish economy, worth a remarkable 3,355 trillion Linbecks 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 252,510 Linbecks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies, body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms, children dream of becoming physicians and physicists, and commuters often break into synchronised para-para dancing for no reason at all. Crime is totally unknown. Drennicka's national animal is the Seal Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Drennicka is ranked 548^th in the world and 4^th in The Social Liberal Union for Safest, scoring 172.59 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
