The High-Rising Metropolis of Drientin is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by The Godfather with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 763 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Realé. The average income tax rate is 57.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Drientinian economy, worth 95.4 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 significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 124,983 Krans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Every week is blindness awareness week, citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, Drientin isn't what it used to be, and everyone has the equal opportunity to have their wallet stolen. 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 62,090^th in the world and 78^th in Horizon for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,643.95 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
