The Slab follower of Drew Durrnil is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by concrete slab with a fair hand, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, enslaved workforce, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.385 billion Durrnilians 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, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Administration and Education are also considered important, while Environment and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of dream. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Durrnilian economy, worth a remarkable 2,621 trillion dreams a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 312,622 dreams, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,022,676 per year while the poor average 19,389, a ratio of 104 to 1.

Harassed women are constantly hassled by guys who are "just giving them compliments", the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, and machine-peeled candied grapes come in individual packaging for the busy commuter. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Drew Durrnil's national animal is the dream, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is slabism.

Drew Durrnil is ranked 208,325th in the world and 4,057th in the South Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -4.47 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
