The Characters of Dryf Nation is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Nypho with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The compassionate, devout population of 2.668 billion Characters 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Center Of Mind. The average income tax rate is 48.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Characterized economy, worth 216 trillion canios a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 81,018 canios, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people, crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, and Nypho is strangely popular with male politicians' wives. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dryf Nation's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Impolism.

Dryf Nation is ranked 203,650^th in the world and 4,750^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 6.47 flags saluted per person per day.
